    I agree there weren’t that many surprises, but the surprises which were unveiled are downright shocking to say the least. No Best Picture nomination for The Florida Project. This is the voting of madmen, and no nomination for the documentary Jane? – this is just ridiculous.
    At least I am grateful that there is no original screenplay nomination for Aronofsky, even though I do think there should be some condition what counts “original” because Get Out screenplay borrows so much from other sources, besides being so flawed towards the end.
