Oscar nominated films

Just saw Manchester by the Sea. If a slow, sad movie about personal demons, death, divorce, and dysfunction is what you're in the mood for, I highly recommend it.

I just saw Manchester by the Sea, and honestly, I can't figure out what everyone likes about it.

Ya know how Seinfeld is a show about "nothing", but it's still about something, and each episode has a story? Yea, I feel like Manchester by the Sea is actually about nothing.

The conversations between the actors had no substance to them. I felt like I was watching someone's everyday, mundane life. And the acting... seriously, what am I missing? I didn't think Casey Affleck did anything amazing. He was a monotone voice personified.

And this is up for best picture? I don't get it.
