It's just there for padding. It's a shambles of a film from about halfway to the end.
Birdman or Budapest will never win, though they deserve to.

Oscars are for movies like Sniper or Selma or Imitation Game. They seem to get more conservative every year. At this point the Oscar bait formula is so predictable these movies are no better than summer blockbusters.
Selma wasn't even nominated.
Um. yes it was.
Huh. I guess this movie is so boring and obvious-Oscar-bait-y that I don't even notice when it's on a list.

It would have been a lot better if you left out "Visual Effects".

Yeah, that would make sense. Except I know the Oscars are dumb and almost all recent Best Picture winners (and nominees) are terrible, so I wouldn't really want a good movie to be recognized by the Academy.

Also, I'm not sure the most "me" post would contain a hashtag.

I'm overthinking this.

Carry on.
