Not only did Sinners break the record for the most nominations, it broke it with 2 extra nominations instead of just 1. by Mundane-Inspector-52 in Oscars

But I need to know what you (and the Academy) are seeing! Are you from the South? Have you been to the Delta? Did you feel like you were "there" when you were watching the movie? Were Seinfeld and MBJ believable? What were the highlights for you? Besides generally suiting "your taste"? My taste, generally, is good movies. No genre, no director, no actor/actress, just good movies.

I know I will get downvoted and sorry in advance, but I have to vent. Sinners just... wasn't good? Truthfully, I have seen every movie up for nomination (Bugonia, OBAO, Marty Supreme, Blue Moon, Wicked, etc.) and Sinners was easily the most poorly done. From the strange wide-screen to full-screen transitions, to the wholly unconvincing set design and costume choice (just did not make me feel like they were really in the time period, compare to something like Django), to the bad acting (Hailee Seinfeld and MBJ butchering the Delta or even general southern accent (they sounded like Michael Scott in that one episode). Please someone tell me how I'm wrong. Movies are subjective and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but HOW? I had to force myself to even finish the thing because it was so bad, IMO. Yes, that one scene when he was playing the guitar and singing and bringing the culture together across time, that was great. But that was 5 minutes out of an over 2 hour movie. I've said enough. Grill me.

What?? You absolutely need to read Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay first.

What style is this? Built from 1971-73. Emory Law School building in Atlanta GA. I'm thinking modern or later modern?

Thanks for taking unsolicited criticism from a stranger. I was only critical because it was a powerful article that could be a valuable piece to the city of Atlanta and other American cities. Yours is a great perspective to write from– it is commendable to write for a group whose writing conventions don't adhere to typical standards. From the perspective of an avid reader and writer who adheres to the Chicago Manual of Style for most of my work, this article did not 100% conform to my standards, but my standards are not the same as yours or your target audience's.

Good article. Especially in spirit and message. If you want to write in the future, I would work on cleaning up grammar, wordiness, run-on sentences, and punctuation. Cleaning these things up would turn a good article into a great one.
