Thanks for looking into that! I'm surprised Les Mis was so low. Let's look at metacritic.

BR: 49 (yellow)
Chocolat: 64
Babel: 69
Les Mis: 63
The Help: 62

Babel was the best reviewed of the bunch? Blech!

I bid on Crazy Rich Asians in my Oscar pool. I think they should nominate it. This has been a garbage year for movies and it stands apart as one of the most garbage films that I’ve seen. But truly it does stand apart as a movie that speaks about so much that is so broken and wrong and infantile about our culture today. It would be a good representative choice, if not a good movie.

Bohemian Rhapsody has to be the worst-reviewed movie to get GG, SAG ensemble and PGA noms.

Bridesmaids?.
Damn, I missed that! Still a two time Oscar nominee...maybe CRA is at least more of a screenplay nominee than we admit

Bridesmaids?

The PGA folk clearly got John Bailey's memo; this is as Show Me the Money a list as they've generated in a while -- Asians, Quiet Place and Bohemian Rhapsody are clearly there solely for their grosses. (It reminds me a bit of 2001, when they only had five slots, but gave two of them to Shrek and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone). Sometimes, this group will promote something smaller along with the big boppers (The Big Sick, Ex Machina), but this year those slots were necessary to get Roma and The Favourite locked in. Vice is the only inclusion that seems fully in spite of commercial considerations. And Beale Street took the clearest blow, but maybe it'll recover at AMPAS the way Room did.

ON EDIT: Forgot: any chance First Man or Widows had of recovering from their commercial demises probably ended here.
