Big-budget blockbusters like Star Wars are tailor-made for these nominations, and The Last Jedi should be a shoo-in to do well in the below-the-line categories.
Walt Disney Pictures has added Star Wars: The Last Jedi to their For Your Consideration page, illustrating they will be pushing Lucasfilm’s latest blockbuster in all major categories.
The Last Jedi being “snubbed” so far was a byproduct of the fact it had not been screened for critics until this past Saturday, December 9.
Immediate reactions after The Last Jedi‘s premiere were overwhelmingly positive, with several people offering high amounts of praise for writer/director Rian Johnson.
