>>158 An ISTL nomination could happen just because there weren't any tier A musicals released this year with big budgets and big stars. No Les Mis, no Into the Woods, no Chicago, etc. Just saying strategically it could happen for that reason. There were some well crafted performances in ISTL, but sadly a poorly written script, and it was oddly paced. Great intentions and passion from everyone, but sadly, not the most well crafted film.
