Why wasn't this movie nominated for Best Picture?


It actually should've won, but that's very unrealistic. But I'm very surprised it wasn't nominated. It won Best Actor, and it was nominated for Best Actress, Best Screenplay and Best Director. Those four categories are pretty much what makes the movie a masterpiece, so it only makes sense for it to be nominated for Best Picture. And even if I hated the movie, I'd still be very surprised. This movie is your typical Best Picture nominated movie. It could even maybe be described as Oscar bait.
