I continue to insist in these pages that “Don’t Look Up” is a almost certainly in contention for a Best Picture nomination. However, film critics and journalists have been divided on the film’s odd tonal mix of comedy and drama. This is a case of critics not mattering as much. The cast is A-list, the popularity of the film immense and, critics be damned, audiences seem to love it. I believe that is enough to warrant Oscar’s attention and reward. Contribute Hire me
