Welcome to Marwensomehow got on the finalist list for visual effects. Anything inIncredibles 2, which was on the previous shortlist for visual effects, was better than the effects used to bring those creepy dolls to life in the Robert Zemeckis movie. That’s just ludicrous.
Interestingly,A Star Is Bornonly ended up with one song on the shortlist for Best Original Song, and it’s “Shallow.” ButMary Poppins Returnshas the chance of getting two nominations since they have two songs on the shortlist. We’ll see what happens when the nominations get announced next month.
