Do you guys even bite at Oscar bait movies anymore?
There was a time I felt compelled to see all the big nominees for the yearly oscar nominated shows but now I feel like it's most too much work and I don't have anyone of importance to share my achievements with. Like the weird leopard person who cares for things that no one even notices. Like this old friend who would make it a point to let it be know that " no one knows what your talking about, ***** " .

I'm a poor mans version of Minio.

I do. I want to see all this year's Oscar nominees before the ceremony. I've seen 41/53 so far.

I usually try to watch most Oscar-nominated films, unless I have reason to believe I’ll dislike something, in which case, I leave it until later. Eventually, I do tend to catch up with them all. If anything, I’m more sold on this year’s selection than some of the previous years’.

I try to never treat any movie as potential Oscar bait. If it interests me, I'll check it out. I don't even know what the term means anymore anyway.

Yeah, I no longer have a group of people in front of whom I can ostensibly hate a film either. I mean, apart from MoFos, but give me a break... So... what's another reason for watching films that are mediocre at best?
PS: Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re not a poor man’s version of me. You’re a unique version of yourself. And by unique, I mean funny. And by funny, I mean laughable. |

Aww, thank you! I do try to get out more these days. Went clubbing with friends over the weekend for the first time in years, and it was great. So I’m getting there :)

Same. I'm well on my way to having watched them all before the ceremony - including all the shorts. :D

I'm at the point where if something makes me think of the term "Oscar bait" I actually deprioritize it a little.

Yes, I do plan on watching them, but not necessarily prioritize them, depending on the film of course.
Oscar bait doesn’t mean anything anyways. The film could be good or bad. One won’t know unless they watch it. |

The term Oscar bait does contain an implicit jab at the film, pointing out that its makers produced it with the Academy in mind. If you focus on winning an Award versus actually making a good film, it's highly likely your film is not good.
