Academy Awards 2017

Post by Tigro »

February 26th is in one month, so maybe it's time to look back at last year and see what will the winners be.

Oscar Nominees

What are your favourites/tips? What shouldn't even be included? Did they "forget" some good movie?
Is La La Land gonna sweep all 13 (out of 14 nominations, 2 in 'Original song' category) Oscars?

Discuss.

Going to stay up the whole night to watch it all as usual. No favorite's yet but will try to see as much as I can in theaters first. Watched Lion today for example, very good.

I'll watch 0% of it and look at list of who won afterwards. The Oscars are about the boringest thing I can imagine to be honest.

I did watch Oscars last year and enjoyed it quite a bit. I might watch it live again.
Also I am going to cinema to La La Land at Thursday. Not my genre at all, but am curious :)

I personally didn't see all those movies, but my favourites for Oscars are these:

Best picture: Arrival
Best Actor: Andrew Garfield
Best Actress: Emma Stone
Best Support Actor: Mahershalalchashbaz Ali (wtf name)
Best Support Actress: No idea at all, maybe Nicole Kidman?
Best Animated picture: Moana by far
Other are very hard to tell, but La La Land will get 4+ imo.

Watching the award show live. Been trying semi hard to check movies off my to-watch list. Seen every Best Movie nominee except Fences (saw 40mins of it tho, but was tired so quit). My favorite so far is La La Land, its the only movie i thouroughly enjoyed and went on to recommend to people i know :) Also rooting for The Lobster screenplay and all swedish nominees.

Best Picture awarded to the most difficult subject rather than the best movie. It was the same with Argo, Spotlight and 12 Years a Slave to grab a few examples from recent years. Also "smooth move dumbass(es)" on the Best Picture fail.

What exactly is that supposed to mean? Are gay people paying off the Academy Awards to win?

You know what Moonlight is about, right?

not talking about it being 100% black actor movie; after last year's "oscars gone white" controversy...
