Just to note: There was not a sequel to The Usual Suspects released this year. If there ever was, I suspect (ha-HA!) that it would NOT receive an Oscar nom.
In terms of the vast majority of nominees for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Actress, though, I am Jack’s total lack of surprise. Seems like I’ll need to get to work, though, as I have seen zero of the nominees so far. Major work. In a profound way.
