I agree and there are some films like Nomadland I find infuriating. There is always an exception every year though which makes it worth while such as Parasite and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri.

Forget predicting the winners, people are even predicting which films are going to be nominated now. I have had a brief glance and haven't heard of most of them apart from a few of the major blockbusters like Dune. I keep an open mind though and am willing to give everything a chance and wait to be pleasantly surprised.
