We gave Oscar-tipped movies more accurate names because somebody had to

The Florida Project? I don't think so, pal

Ciara Knight

Seriously, somebody had to.

This year’s Oscar nominations are out on 23rd January (Tuesday week) and the excitement is palpably mounting.

Regardless of whether the most deserving movies get nominated or not, we need to look at a huge epidemic that’s been spreading through Hollywood in recent years.

Movie names have become incredibly misleading. Foxcatcher did not teach us how to catch foxes, Moonlight had nothing to do with lunar phases, The Big Short was a full length movie and Whiplash contained approximately zero neck injuries.

Enough is enough. I am hereby renaming this year’s Oscar nomination hopefuls.

Your move, Hollywood.
