I usually like to try to see most of the Best Pictures nominees.
Already seen Dunkirk and Get Out. I don't think Dunkirk deserved a nom nom quite frankly, but it has good cinematography. Get Out is fantastic. I really want to see The Shape of Water and Lady Bird.
You noticing that just looking at the list of nominees seems to be preferable to some people now, as opposed to watching the award shows? Probably because of the farce these things have become.
I do remember a time these award shows weren't cringeworthy.

It is odd Tom Hanks got no nom for The Post though.
I read the last nom he got was for Castaway.

Did you see Jackmans face when he lost to James Franco at a recent award show? Golden Globes I think. He apparently threw a fit backstage after.

It almost made me wish I had watched the award show.

I've seen all except CALL ME BY YOUR NAME and PHANTOM THREAD.
I enjoyed Shape of Water, but I can't see it winning best picture. I'd guess Ladybird, The Post or TBOEM out of the one's I've seen.
Though considering Phantom Thread is Lewis' last film, I wouldn't be surprised if that picks up loads of awards, both Best Actor and Film, cos let's face it, the Oscars are really just a High School popularity contest.
Having said that, I do really need to watch Phantom Thread, as Lewis is a epic-levels actor.
