Denis Villeneuve Says Bad Box Office Is the Reason ¡®Blade Runner 2049¡¯ Was Shut Out of Best Picture Oscar Race

[TallSilhouette]

2049 is my Best Picture of 2017, but the argument here is a little iffy. If anything the Oscars get criticized these days for being out of touch with moviegoers, picking films comparatively few people went to see or even heard of (though I think that says more about moviegoers). I was miffed myself to not see it nominated for Best Picture, Director, or Writing, but Denis' comment may just come off as childish to many.

Wind River also needs more recognition and I thought Atomic Blonde was one of the year's more underrated films.
