There have been awful years for quality film output very recently, but years like 2020? I find it impossible to even take seriously the nominations. It's like a 10x worse version of the NBA bubble championship for the Lakers. And if the nominations are watered down and kind of pointless, do they make any dent on the industry going forward, in terms of casting or whatnot?

Putting an asterisk on an awards year or a sports championship is just stupid.

Putting an asterisk on an awards year or a sports championship is just stupid. I disagree. I remember Emile Hirsch and James McAvoy getting "snubbed' in a great year like 2007 more than I will every nominee this year. |

I wouldn't even call this an asterisk year. We still had a massive amount of films come out, thanks in no small part to the eligibility window being widened, plus the only two films that actually got delayed that would have made any sort of impact were Dune and The French Dispatch.

It's not much worse than 2019 honestly. Now the VFX lineup will be laughably bad, that's for sure.

This is a movie awards season, I don't think it's important enough to warrant an asterisk. Unless you seriously think they usually award the best stuff of every year, then fair enough. Comparing it to the NBA thing is way off. If anything that was MORE pure considering it eliminated external factors like home support, travel, etc.
