Hateful Eight shouldn't be in the Best Picture category, nor Tarantino for Directing.
It got what it deserved.

I'm a Tarantino fan boy, Hateful 8 will be in my top five this year. That said I have no problem with people not liking the film or it not being nominated. It's the self-indulgent complaint that baffles me. I guess it is a product of his films being highly stylized. When it works for you it's cool, when it doesn't it's indulgent. Oh well.

People tend to say it's his style and way of making movies, but that doesn't exclude him from not being able to miss a bit. I mean, if JJ Abrams used too many lense flairs for his own good, I would say it, not just accept it and say "oh well, it's his style..."

Haven't seen TH8 yet, cause it only comes to Portugal in 3 weeks, but I've to say I'm surprised it didn't get the best screenplay nomination.
About the best film, if he didn't win for Pulp fiction, he'll never win.
I've only seen mad max from these noms, I've to agree with MV about inside out being out of best film pics. I'm not curious about any movie here except the revenant! Not a good year, I think.

I love Tarantino as well. But whether a critic or a fanboy, criticizing him for stumbling a bit in his own territory shouldn't be off limits.

I've only seen Room, which I liked well enough. I'll get to the others soon hopefully. Well, at least some.

The Hateful Eight is better than all these films, that barring perhaps The Revenant and Mad Max, will be forgotten with time.

I don't know how I feel now about movies I used to like of his (Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown), but I definitely know I haven't liked his last 4. His screenplay try to represent how some people talk today, what some people find funny, usually the common denominator, very banal stuff.

Not the biggest fan of Tarantino but i must admit The Hateful Eight looks more interesting than most of these. Then again i haven't seen any of them.
