It is! My bad.

Daddy’s Home 2 – isn’t that obvious?

BR2049 is in the adapted category. (As a sequel it relies on previously published material.)

It’s guaranteed a score nod, thanks to John Williams’ reserved nomination, and Streep is probably getting in too. It’s her, Judi Dench (for a movie that no one remembers; one that likely only got her a SAG nod because they didn’t see The Post in time) or Jessica Chastain (if she couldn’t score a SAG nod over Judi Dench, I’m not sure she can get an Oscar nod over Streep). Then you’ve got the two that are somewhat on the fence; Editing and Screenplay. I’m guessing screenplay is just too competitive this year and The Big Sick takes the fifth spot, but it scores the editing one; that category is never set in stone and films like Baby Driver, Blade Runner 2049, Get Out and Three Billboards aren’t locks (Dunkirk and The Shape of Water are the only two certainties there). So, three nods are probably safe, with four or five possible (Spielberg isn’t completely out; DGA has only lined up with Oscar seven times in 70 years; or it could score a surprise production design nod).

‘Phantom Thread’, ‘Last Flag Flying’, ‘Hostiles’, ‘Wind River’, ‘Call Me By…’ are easily far superior than any of the tripe being paraded as good or quality. It’s high time the Academy was scrapped. It has become a political zeitgeist circus, with no value and no credibility. Why both honouring the best films, when they no longer know what the best is?
