2020 Oscars - Academy Award Nominations VS The Films I Would Have Nominated

I'm not going to list every category.
I haven't seen enough animated or documentary films released in 2019 for instance.
​Also, I am only listing films  performances I have seen. 
The only film in these categories that was nominated, which I haven't seen is, Harriet.
