In such a strong year for the Academy Awards, many nominees who were fighting for a spot or deserving of nominations didn’t even get a chance to have a campaign going. I have decided to create an alternative Oscars line-up of the eight above-the-line categories, consisting solely of non-nominees within each category.
Here is who I would nominate in an alternative Oscars for this year.
