This was a much better film season than last year, which is the reason.

Last year there were just okay films nominated for Best Picture. Roma was the only one I think was truly great, and it got shafted because of Netflix. If you put either Parasite, 1917, Little Women, Irishman, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood or Marriage Story into last years lineup, any one of those could have beat out Green Book.

Same with the acting categories which were totally stacked. Phoenix and Driver easily would have won best actor last year, even with the praise Maek got. We know because we got a very similar music biopic performance from Taron Egerton and he couldn't even get nominated. When Jonathen Pryce, Hopkins, Pacino, Pesci and Leo are turning out stellar performances and you know for a fact they don't even have a shot, you know it's a good year.

Same on the women's side. Scarlet Johannsen and Florence Pugh were fantastic and could have won last year if they were nominated. Scarlet put out a career performance. Hell even Charlize Theron was transformative in Bombshell.

This was arguably a walk away for best film year of the decade.
