The Oscar nominations are hard to keep up with, even for those of us who try, and every year brings surprise nominations, unthinkable snubs, and a series of films that, darn it, we haven’t all been able to catch up with. Watching all the feature films nominated at the 92nd Academy Awards is a time-consuming task, and mainlining all these movies doesn’t always paint a clear picture of what the Academy actually likes. A few of these nominees are practically inexplicable. Quite a few of the nominees are technically impressive but thematically empty (or troublesome). Some are merely mediocre, except for that one incredible, Oscar-worthy element. And, mercifully, quite a few others are truly brilliant from beginning to end.
38. “The Lion King”
Nominations: Best Visual Effects
Jon Favreau’s remake of the animated classic “The Lion King” offers uncannily realistic CG-animation, but at the sacrifice of the entire story.
