"Kubrick for The Shining."

 

"Sigourney Weaver for Alien."

 

"For me it’s Hereditary.

There are many scenes in this film that prove the director and actors should have at the very least been nominated."

 

"Jeff Goldblum for The Fly."

"SE7EN.

David Fincher’s finest moment."

 

"Kurt Russell for The Thing (and probably John Carpenter, too.)"

 

"Steven Spielberg being denied a nomination for Best Director for Jaws when movie itself was nominated for Best Picture."

 

"Halloween 1978 not getting an Oscar best score or at least a nomination is crazy to me. Absolutely iconic score."

"I know it got a cinematography nod, but how Willem Dafoe didn’t get a nomination for The Lighthouse drives me crazy to this day."

 

"American Psycho for Christian Bale’s performance."

 

"Hellraiser 1987 for Best Visual Effects.

Most of the makeup and design of the movie is done completely practical but the regeneration sequence of Frank Cotton in the basement should have alone nominated and won an Academy Award."

 

"Gerald’s Game. Particularly Carla Gugino, that’s an incredible performance and looking at who was nominated that year, I’d have her above most if not all of them."

"Florence Pugh in Midsommar."

 

"The Menu for writing."

 

"Lupita N’yongo in Us."

 

"The Witch."

"The performances in Doctor Sleep. Both Rebecca Ferguson and Ewan McGregor deliver f@#king fantastic performances."

 

"Paranormal Activity – took found footage horror to a whole different level. A simple haunted house concept turned into one of the most frightening movies. The build of anticipation and feeling of dread were captured perfectly, something the majority of horror movies fail to do well. It just felt natural and compelling."

 

"Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise."

 

"James McAvoy in Split should’ve been nominated."

First of all, The Academy Awards are not honest anymore. Oscars will be given those with party-line fealty to the political narrative and skin pigment. Those with actual talent make those without talent feel bad, and feelings are far more important than merit now. Mediocrity reigns supreme in 'Hollow'ood. And secondly...this critical comment will most likely be removed, because it's too 'over-the-target,' and that's verboten.
