| | Most of the time, the Academy Award only honors a few select films. Roughly 8-12 films receive the majority of nominations and the films truly excelling in the field get left out. It's all political I guess (to some extent in the end) but here's my list (somewhat of an annual tradition) of the films and people I would've honored had I gotten to nominate peeps for these awards.
I hope you can respect them more than the current nominees.
