I'm a little surprised at the number of people surprised Midsommar is still in contention. It would have easily been what I'd have picked to win, especially if I wasn't participating myself.

I'm more surprised that Midsommar outlasted Hereditary than anything.

Both are obviously well received movies, but I feel like Midsommar has more going against it with a group like this.

Midsommar is always being compared to Wicker Man (1974), has a predictable destination to the journey, sometimes gets complaints of being overly long, and has a protagonist that annoys some people.

Meanwhile, Hereditary often gets the benefit of being a "baby's first art horror", sort like how Spirited Away gets that benefit with anime films.

It just feels weighted to expect Hereditary would outlast Midsommar. I mean, I'm happy it didn't!
