How the hell was this garbage nominated for an Academy Award?

Rating: 1/10 (11 February 2020)

I can't remember wanting to walk out on a movie but after two hours of this borefest I picked up the remote and pushed off. I have no idea how it finished and I don't care. The cynic in me tells me this piece of rubbish was simply designed to top up the actor's retirement funds.
Wooden acting, literally no evident storyline, The Irishman demonstrates clearly how not to make a movie. What puzzles me is that with the truly dreadful reviews who does it get such a high score on here?
And how on earth did the Academy members vote this nonsense into the Best Film award? It is just awful. Everything about it. The acting, the sound, the dumb CGI...and on and on.
Catatonic.
