-The movies nominated are limited audience fare. Not a quality complaint, just box office accurate.
-The Nielsen audience for Oscar's may just be dwindling over the years. Do you know anyone with a Nielsen box? are they someone that cares about this awards ceremony in 2018?
-Lack of competition: After James Franco's issues, he was out of the actor category for nomination. The challenger to Gary Oldman on the big show was gone and that was a wrap. Frances was a lock for Actress. Same with Supporting Actress and supporting actor.
-Back to the limited audience stuff. Three BIllboards got knocked down a peg for not being #MeToo enough. Shape of Water (haven't seen it) got pushed and ultimately one. The Get Out stuff was late, maybe2/3 weeks of "hey I have a feeling this is possible." Then Black Panther happened and Get Out got talked about more. At the end of the day, screenplay is all it go.
I'll keep repeating it until proven wrong, Black Panther is gonna get nominated for a lot of categories that it shouldn't. It's the large box office movie for the Academy and their voters to show how hip (woke) they are and an opportunity to laud it get people talking.
