“Carol”

Best Director 

and 

Best Picture

What does Todd Haynes have to do to get an Oscar?!? He’s directed other nominated films, such as Far From Heaven and I’m Not There, but he’s never been nominated himself.

Of course, Carol wasn’t shut out of the Academy Awards—it received six nominations, including Cate Blanchett for Best Actress and Rooney Mara for Best Supporting Actress. But for a film that was on numerous year end best-of lists, it should have earned a Best Picture nod. What gives, Academy? #JusticeForCarol
