Oscars 2017: Definitely not the Best Picture of 2016

All 2016 films with at least one Academy Award nomination, but not a Best Picture nomination, for the 2017 Oscars. (Nominated categories in notes.)

I watch the nominees for Best Picture every year; this list is to help me focus on the “lesser” films. My tally on the morning of the nominations was a typically abysmal five films watched (9%).
