2018 was an average year of animation, as in most of the animated films this year were just "alright".

in fact 2018 was just an "alright" year for cinema in general.

Isle of Dogs is a better animated film than Spiderverse and incredibles 2

the very fact that fox+Disney combined has a total of 37 award nominations is not a good thing.

Black Panther (much like avatar) was mainly nominated because it was a popular film from the sister company of ABC (the channel that broadcasts the oscars).

A Star is Born is likely only going to win like one award (despite being a fantastic film deserving multiple)

A single studio should not get multiple nominations in the same category (especially in the animation category where Disney frequently gets multiple)

I do thinkk that the Oscars, while unimportant, do help entice people to watch things they may otherwise have not (such as the animated short category).

If Beale Street Could Talk was shafted

as was Eight Grade

the stigma surounding NC-17 is largely uncalled for.
