All Arrival and No Deadpool: The Oscar Nominations Are Here

All Arrival and No Deadpool: The Oscar Nominations Are Here

It doesn’t even matter that Arrival managed to get into the Best Picture and Best Directing categories, because we all know the only thing nerds are going to be able to talk about is the snubbing of Deadpool.

Arrival is the most significant science fiction contender this year, and it’s looking a lot like it’s going to be the year’s Mad Max — recognised, but only a winner in the technical categories, where genre film gets its dues. (Look at the Visual Effects category, damn.) Somehow, Deadpool didn’t even get one of those. Or one of the adapted screenplay nominations, which seemed a gimme. But Suicide Squad got a make-up and costume nominations. Yes, as of today Suicide Squad has an Academy Award nomination, so let that sink in.

Here are the big categories and a few of the smaller ones relevant to us.
