Does anyone else think that there's almost no hype...

Well in Germany they make quite a few adverts for it for weeks now.

Nope! They've been all over the news the past few days/week.

But personally there really isn't much going on that I care too much about. I'm not that personally invested this year, but that almost makes it easier to watch.

I'm excited. I think this is a great year for BP nominees.

I'm not invested in any of the nominees like last year even though I like quite a few

Exactly! I'm actually most looking forward to seeing who gets the best Trump shot in of the night.

Eh! The enthusiasm for the awards doesn't seem any better or worse than it was in the past few years.

There is a lot, Fox news was talking a lot about it, but expectation of Trump twitting about them is probably most of the hype over the movies, once again not one movie will have been seen by half the tv audience (if they got close to 40 million in the US rating, so I'm not sure how can people know something is going to a win a bunch of awards that isn't worthy, people have yet to have see La la land and have an opinion about it, it was seen by what just 6% of the adults?)

I don't get how you can be indifferent about the prospect of a new movie entering the 11 Oscars club. I mean as an avid awards follower how does that not excite you ? It's movie history (even though it ultimately doesn't matter all that much).

Seems more hyped than usual due to La La Land. Not as much as last year with Chris Rock and the race controversy, but more than most years where almost none of the movies are popular. Lots of hits nominated this year (La La Land, Hidden Figures, Arrival, Hacksaw Ridge)
