Emily Blunt should get an oscar nod to be honest.

Oscars snub Horror Films.

I haven't seen the Film though tbf so I don't know if they'll be right to do that or not.

Tbf with, thought this thread upon first looking at it referred to the state of this forum...

I mean look how many average Drama Films about a man and a woman that fall in love that get nominated every year.

Nah, it's just most horror films simply aren't that good. The genre's just had a bit of a renaissance in recent years since they've decided to do put effort into quite a few of them when before most horrors were thrown together because they are nearly always profitable whether they are good or not.

Get Out, IT and the Babadook have done a lot to revitalise the genre beyond the 'throw a bunch of pretty faces in front of the camera and throw gore at them' approach.

Those drama films get nominated because they are well made, well crafted pieces of cinema for the most part. Saw Part 53 simply doesn't cut it.
