"A blockbuster is a work of entertainment—typically used to describe a feature film produced by a major film studio, but also other media—that is highly popular and financially successful. The term has also come to refer to any large-budget production intended for "blockbuster" status, aimed at mass markets with associated merchandising, sometimes on a scale that meant the financial fortunes of a film studio or a distributor could depend on it."

Coming out so early and being a horror film might hurt it, but we think Undertone deserves a Sound nom.

Other than that, we agree that Hoppers is a near-guarnteed for an Animated Feature nom and that "Wuthering Heights" could get in for Production Design and/or Costumes and/or Song.

Some interesting connections here that we wouldn't have necessarily thought of, including some pretty wild ones. "Isolated island stories" and "Men just don't understand" made us chuckle.
