I haven't seen all of the films on this list but I can with confidence say, you clearly watched too much from the WORST movie nominated this year.

I know I did wrong by even letting any of it play at all, but I was curious what the actors were like and why this stuff made the author tons of money.

@edgarblythe,

By tonight, I will have seen seven out of the eight nominated Best Picture films. The last one left unseen will be The Big Short.

I'll be reading along. Will try to be quiet since I know even less that usual this year. Carry on, nurses.

@tsarstepan,

I'm just following along, didn't read up this year, just getting interested now; will enjoy seeing who wins the awards, and the a2ker winner.
I was liking Jespah's picks but hey, haven't looked at others yet.

I remember seeing the first Shoah film; if I remember, it was a two day stretch at our local theater.
Major..
Now I want to see the second.

@ossobuco,

Don''t listen too much, I didn't see many of the films!

@fbaezer,

Ok, but I trust you from your takes in the past. Somewhat.

As many here know, I'm not up to speed re film -
you all don't have to deal with my hilarious computer.
I could be meaner, and likely smarter.
