An Oscar race is no fun if nobody has seen the moviesYou probably haven’t seen the best movie of 2020 — at least if this year’s awards nominees tell us anything.Over the past week, traditional Oscar bellwethers like the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild, and the Critics Choice Awards announced their nominees and cemented this year’s Best Picture frontrunners.
