Also here’s a really clear PDF watchlist of all the nominees and where you can stream or watch the films to check them off the list as you see them all.

I’ve not seen as many of these this year as I’d like to but it’s because I’ve been busy with other more important things.

The ones to watch out for are absolutely ‘Three Billboards’ and ‘The Shape of Water’.
