Such a dull, AMPAS-friendly list for Best Picture. In five or ten years, is anyone ever going to rewatch or even remember Loving? Lion, Sully, and Hacksaw Ridge are especially surprising, as the reviews have been good but not especially ecstatic.

Glad to see Michael Shannon there, though. Thought he was brilliant.

But wait, isn't Dev Patel the lead in Lion? If he's supporting, the trailer for the film is very, very misleading.
