As you can notice, the last Christopher Nolan and George Clooney‘s fantasy are on this list only because they were nominated for Best original score. Also, here are another three movies I can’t watch very soon: The Father, French Exit, and Two of Us. I have watched almost all the others, with a few exceptions, but I’ll recover in due time. Very low standards this year, and I’m afraid the Oscars will be no better. Deep corny dramas, BLM, racially aware stuff, anti-Trump obnoxiousness, leftist nonsense, all to the obvious loss of quality. In the Golden Globes 2021 nominees’ list, the only movie I enjoyed is Palm Springs. If Rashida Jones weren’t so boring, I would maybe consider On the Rocks slightly entertaining. They missed Meryl Streep this year, but not the lamentable time-wasting feature she appeared in for more than five minutes. It is called The Prom and it is nominated for best motion picture, comedy or musical. It covers both. I also liked a lot the Danish Another Round, a masterpiece compared to The Trial of the Chicago 7, but that’s only me thinking, not a pretentious politically correct film critic who believes the Democrats are on the left side of the political specter.
