Despite all of my relatively recent movie viewing, I have heard of extremely few of the Oscar nominees. In the list I was looking at, I had to get all the way down to the animated features before I even recognized a movie title! These are the ones I have heard of in the major categories:
Animated Features
Incredibles 2
Isle of Dogs (which I saw on the plane home from Cambodia)
Ralph Breaks the Internet
Adapted Screenplay
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Documentary Feature
Free Solo
RBG
What does it say about my cultural involvement that I have not even heard of a single one of the best picture nominees? Not that cultural detachment is necessarily a bad thing, but apparently it's a thing that I possess now.
