This isn't the full list of course, but many of the other movie reviews can easily be searched for on this blog. I have to say that I am highly disappointed that "Sing Street" didn't get a nod at all. I'm also confused as to why "The Lobster" is even on the list, since it had a foreign film release in 2015.
Also check out the Spoilers Pleeze podcast, where me and Jiaming discuss the whole nominations list.
