Does anyone even care that the Oscar nominations are now in? With Hollywood eschewing grown-up subject matter in favour on filling multiplexes with lucrative franchises, re-boots, and adaptations on everything from comic books to 30 year-old board games, increasingly it seems the awards are just a way for the rapacious American film industry to justify it's own existence. Perhaps that's an overly cynical assessment. In the past few years we've seen audaciously adult films do quite well, such as 'The Social Network', 'We Need To Talk About Kevin', 'The King's Speech', 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy', 'Shame', and 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo'. But then again last year 'Fast Five' grossed over $625 million worldwide, so there's still work to be done. Here's a photoshopped look at this year's Oscar bait film posters, via Uproxx.
