So here we are with the nominations for the 92nd Academy Awards, and I have thoughts. Yes, there was a certain inevitability to a lot of what happened. In such a good year, it can be argued that there simply weren't enough slots to represent all that was offered in theaters. Still, I have some thoughts on things, but I'll just throw out now that the lack of representation for on-screen diversity (let alone behind the camera) is certainly noticeable. For all the strides found in seeing a South Korean film, for example, get nominated so much for the first time, some things haven't changed much. Anyway, here's the list of nominees, with some of my own commentary to go with it. The ceremony won't air until February 9, and I'll have more Oscar-related content in the weeks to come. For now, enjoy what I've put together in regards to this year's batch of potential award winners.

This week's Out Now with Aaron and Abe is the big finale to 2019’s film coverage. Aaron and Abe are joined by Movies Markus’ Markus Robinson and Fast Film Reviews’ Mark Hobin to go over the Top Ten Films of 2019. Hear what this group has to say about their favorite movies of the year (with plenty of surprise appearances from other frequent guests of the show), along with thoughts on the best performances, favorite movie moments, surprises, disappointments, and more. Among the topics covered, there’s a fun round of Know Everybody (5:21), the Top Ten (11:17), other “bests” of the year (1:43:20), Games (2:17:40), and Out Now Feedback (2:21:28). The gang then wraps things up with this week's closeout song, plus a blooper (2:29:33). So now, if you've got an hour or so to kill...

Happy New Year! While we're a bit in the middle of things as far as new releases (I didn't race out to go see The Grudge this week), I do have quite a few posts worth checking out.

There's also my list of various award contenders still in theaters and now on home media, and various streaming services. No new home media releases this week, but I have a list for that as well.
