Even so, there was a truly heartbreaking omission across every major category, and that was Andrew Haigh’s powerful, sorrowful fantasy dramaAll of Us Strangers. Now, don’t get me wrong. Few, if any, of us were expectingAll of Us Strangersto make the cut — it’s too quiet, too insightful, and too esoteric for the Academy’s tastes....
