Every 2018 Oscar Nominee Ranked From Worst To Best

By Jack Pooley / February 27, 2018

13. Mudbound

Nominations: 4 - Best Supporting Actress (Mary J. Blige), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song ("Mighty River"), Best Cinematography

Mudbound is the movie that put Netflix on the map when it comes to "serious" Oscar categories, and it also scored the first-ever Best Cinematography nomination for a woman thanks to Rachel Morrison's gorgeous lensing.

From top to bottom this is a superbly-assembled effort from writer-director Dee Rees, a grim but devastatingly human period drama about harsh life in the post–World War II South.

Though Mudbound isn't terribly likely to win any of its four nominations, it's still fantastic to see the streaming platform taken seriously as an outlet for high-minded awards fare.
