2020 Oscar nominations summarized.

There’s still a huge gap between the critical community at large//publicists/festival programmers and the voting members of AMPAS.  Women remain excluded from key behind-the-camera nominations. Big studio buzzy behemoths are still prioritized: JOKER could be this year’s GREEN BOOK.  And Netflix is allowed to have a few more seats at the table—but won’t be allowed to win too many trophies because it would be a bad look for the big studios who have chosen to abandon mid-to-high budget prestige films for mid-to-high budget hotrror/sci-fi/superhero movies.
