Has it been this bad of a year for American film? Where’s “The Last Duel,” “Red Rocket,” “The Card Counter,” “The Lost Daughter,” and “Passing”? I fear the Oscar nominees will be as dull and uninspiring as these choices. Give or take 1 or 2 omissions, these are likely our Best Picture nominees (“Belfast” didn’t qualify as it is not an American production). Despite mediocre reviews, I’m still predicting “Don’t Look Up” in the #10 spot in the Best Picture lineup. “Nightmare Alley” could sneak up in there as well. “Tick Tick … Boom!” is also very well-loved within the industry, its DGA screenings have been playing great, I spoke to an Oscar voting producer last night who couldn’t stop raving about it.
