Mirai is going to be a tough one to catch up on before final voting.  DVD release of April 9. Would have been 2019 eligible but for the nomination.

It looks like it'll be back in some major market theaters in the next few weeks. There's a list at the bottom of this page.

Ohio's not even on that list...smh

Heh, Minnesota gets one and only screening, and it has this to say about it:

This is a relaxed screening; adults may read aloud to early and not-yet readers.

That sounds like a hard pass setting for watching it.

Sad but not surprised Let the Sunshine In didn't grab any noms, especially since the Denis fans aren't as active as they used to be on the boards.

Boo! Can You Ever Forgive Me? deserves more praise. Grant should be nominated and a few other elements should have been in contention.

Watching the trailer for November to grab that screenshot made me regret not catching up with it.

I loved November. I hope everyone checks it out.

I really want to watch it, but it isn't priority to see in the theatre.  I'll watch it soon, streaming.
