Alternate Oscars: 2016

A year ago I asked you to decide who the nominees for the 2016 alternate Oscars should be. With one exception (it's my blog!), I abided by your picks. A lot of solid choices for best picture without any of them being the obvious winner. No Casablanca's here.

Some of the best picture nominees have become regular staples of basic cable — Deadpool, Rogue One, Hidden Figures. Others like Moonlight never will.

It's up to you to decide what you think a best picture is.
