too many have misconstrued that red herring.

Agree about the Best Picture thing too, but the nominations are rather dismal.

So far POTD is the best film we've yet seen of the nominated films, most of which
tinear would refer to as movies...

Film could have categories like music does. That way, - tinear 12:49:54 03/26/22 (1)
entertainment wouldn't be mixed in with more serious fare. Pop, country, jazz, classical: what if one had to award a "best" that would encompass all those? Good luck!

  Mostly, methinks, for folk like you that cling to distinctions
  that need to separate the silver plated from the sterling.
  
  Fine for jewelry, less important with art.
  
  Multi theaters, Repertory theaters, Arthouse theaters.
  
  All are worthy in the long run.
  
  I suspect if this were the Movie Forum you wouldn't post here.

Not a very strong field this year - Steve O 05:01:03 03/23/22 (1)
I didn't see many of this year's nominees but would put Westside Story right up there too . . . probably out of nostalgia. My parents were big into musicals when I was a kid and the WSS "soundtrack" was constantly in the air back then. I'm still amazed that Bernstein did the music. What an amazing and wide ranging talent he was!

  Really fine acting (beats even POTD), the B&W is refreshing though the story is rather formulaic.
  
  That The Belfast Cowboy serves as the soundtrack is a delight.
  
  The best thing about WSS is STILL the music, the new versions are sharp and
  (honestly) swinging. The rest of it we found humdrum and we actually fell
  asleep after an hour.
  
  Might try and finish it but we know how it ends...
