92nd Academy Awards Nominees
We did it. We reached the point we have all been waiting for: the 92nd Academy Award nominees. Well. We have a lot to discuss, and many days to discuss these points (well, not too many; the Academy Awards are earlier than usual this year, on February 9th). Like last year, we will go through each and every single category, by ranking every nominee in each grouping, and we will rank every nominee overall at the end of our project. We will also discuss which films got snubbed, who we want to win, and who we thing will win. We also want to finish off the films we haven’t seen yet (not many, but they’re still there). We want to have reviews of every single nominee for you dear readers.
Again, we are only going to discuss snubs in each day’s article. Believe us. There have been many this year.
For now, we’re only listing nominees.
And here they are.
