The 90th Academy Awards (Films of 2017) - Part I

It's the 90th Academy Awards or the films of 2017. This was a 9 nominee year so we had to add at least one additional film and that would have been reasonable. However, we decided to add 3 films instead for a 12-movie mini-tournament. We'll be talking about the losers from the matchups in this episode.

The nominees were: Call Me By Your Name; Darkest Hour; Dunkirk; Get Out; Lady Bird; Phantom Thread; The Post; The Shape of Water; and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

The films we added were: Coco; The Florida Project; and I, Tonya

Notes: SPOILERS - we talk through the full plots of all the movies we cover.
