Why It Deserves Best Picture: Yet further proof that Taylor Sheridan is one of the most impressive talents working in Hollywood right now, the screenwriter's directorial debut is a bleak, darkly funny, superbly acted and visually stunning thriller the likes of which rarely comes along.
Plus, with the narrative focusing on systematic abuse of women, and Sheridan wrestling control of the film away from Harvey Weinstein in light of his recent sex scandal, what could send a more potent statement to Hollywood's creeps and abusers?
Why It Won't Get Nominated: Considering how small and unassuming the movie is, it'd be incredibly easy for it to get lost in the shuffle, and Sheridan taking the film back from Weinstein will likely complicate its Oscar campaign, which under Weinstein surely would've been much more significant.
