Same goes for the acting categories. I love Denzel Washington but I think Gary Oldman should win this year. I am going to watch the other nominated performances though just in case someone else gets it so I understand/appreciate why.
Another one which gets me every year is Original Score. What the pluck has John Williams got to do to get an Oscar?

Out of the films I have seen for Best Score it has to go to Dunkirk.
