To me the most interesting category is that of Best Picture.  I’ll spoil the article above -at least a little bit- by listing the movies nominated for this year’s Oscar:

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Post, Call Me by Your Name, Darkest Hour, Dunkirk, Get Out, Lady Bird, Phantom Thread, The Shape of Water.

So, I’m familiar with all the films listed above and a couple of them, especially Three Billboards, have intrigued me to the point where I want to see them.

But, once again, I’m batting .000 in terms of having seen any of the films considered for the Oscar.

Yup, I’ve not seen any of them.

I was intrigued with Get Out but as word …er… got out (ouch) about the story presented, I unfortunately had too much information on what the story presented was and, therefore, felt little need to go see the film.

Dunkirk, as I’ve mentioned elsewhere, is a film that intrigues me, especially given that its a Christopher Nolan directed film, BUT I’m so tired of “war” films at this point.  Understand, I have little doubt its a good, perhaps even great film, but there you go.

Very curious to see which of the films win, though I can’t help but wonder if I’ll ever see any of ’em!
