No best picture, original score or director nominations for Blade Runner 2049? A travesty.

edit: Glad to see Get Out (a friggin horror movie!!!) get some high profile nominations, though.

That's not how you do "progressive"-sarcasm.

Will Get Out be the first legit horror movie to get a nod for Best Picture? Because that's really kind of cool!

I think Get Out deserves its place on these lists, despite the almost annoying level of hype it received upon release (I never saw it theatrically).

I've watched it three or four times and I'm still managing to find new thematic/visual/narrative stuff to mull over after each new viewing.

The Exorcist was nominated in 74.
