Re: The effect of the expanded Best Picture field
With the preponderance of films of quality being released between October and December, most of them in late December, it's impractical if not impossible for voters to see everything, even on screeners, so they concentrate on the films with the most hype. A more gradual release of major films throu...

Re: Complete List of Nominations
The least worthy Streep nomination since Y2K is with absolutely zero doubt the one for which she actually won the award.

Five films directed with so much personality. Without Spike ...
