13 people and movies that don't deserve their Oscar nominations this year — sorry

Oscars are supposed to reward quality. But the Academy of Arts and Sciences — which gives out the awards — gets it wrong all the time.

Remember when "Crash" won best picture in 2005? Or when "Suicide Squad" won an Oscar (for best makeup and hairstyling) just last year? Oscar history is filled with poor choices and outrageous omissions.

This year is no different, with a handful of baffling nominations. You can root against them at this year's Oscar ceremony, at 6:30 p.m. EST on March 4 on ABC.

Here are 13 Oscar nominations that should have never happened.

We should calm down about Christopher Plummer.

It's astonishing that he replaced Kevin Spacey in "All the Money in the World" in just 10 days, and director Ridley Scott still delivered a finished film by its release date. But the Golden Globe and Oscar nominations are pretty silly. I love Plummer, but Michael Stuhlbarg or Armie Hammer in "Call Me By Your Name" both delivered beautiful work and could have been recognized here.

"Beauty and the Beast" had the most production design, but not the best.

Disney's live-action "Beauty and the Beast" adaptation starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens sure looked expensive. The designers for the movie were mostly interested in making the set from the animated movie look as ultra-realist as possible. The result was maximalist and lush, but not very original.

A better choice might have been "The Florida Project." The movie was made on a microscopic budget and set at a run-down motel outside of Disney World. It's an essential part of the movie's character.

Margot Robbie's nomination for "I, Tonya" was unnecessary.

Robbie gave a solid performance as Tonya Harding. But as the movie careens towards its tragic end, it pulls away from her and doesn't give her character any kind of satisfying emotional closure.

And though Jennifer Lawrence has arguably been over-rewarded by the Academy already with mid-tier work like "Joy," her acting in "mother!" anchored an outlandish, out-of-control movie. She should be recognized for it.
