DoofusWainwright
02.27.17 | A lot of the previous best pictures are shit why are you surprised? |
Papa Universe
02.27.17 | But no matter how much you may dislike La La Land, you can't deny that that was an obvious choice. Everysinglefuckingone said "Hey, objectively LLL is the flick for an Oscar. Don't fuck this up." Instead, they decided to go full hipster and give it to an empty directionless flop that only rides off of political correctness. |

02.27.17 | Idk, I've heard a lot of great things about Moonlight in news papers and magazines that are totally not politically correct. So I will watch that film.
It was kind of funny how they completely screwed up after a series of complacent speeches. |

02.27.17 | Warren!! What did u do!!? |
Papa Universe
02.27.17 | I mean, it is an okay film at best. It has nice colour palette and Naomi Harris was great, but it's basically just a chronicle of 'things happening' with no real direction. |

02.27.17 | Casey ftw |
Papa Universe
02.27.17 | Yeah, I'm cool with Casey winning... |
Papa Universe
02.27.17 | The Beatty thing might have been (and probably was) a nod to Steve Harvey |

02.27.17 | la la land is overrated af. it was aesthetically pleasing and well choreographed but thats about it. |
Rik VII
02.27.17 | Everything technical about La La Land is amazing, not only the choreography and aesthetics.
I can't get over fucking Disney winning both animation awards. |

02.27.17 | La La Land winning anything musically over Moana was lolbad |
SCREAM!
02.27.17 | I'm not usually one to enjoy musicals or romances and I still thought La La Land was great so I dunno |

02.27.17 | La la land has a stupid title and I will never watch it |

02.27.17 | don't be a little bitch about it dan |

02.27.17 | I thought the same thing, dan. Actually, even after the first song I was still rolling my eyes. But then it got better. |
JeetJeet
02.27.17 | Fuck La La Land. Moonlight won because it was the superior film in every way possible. |
EphemeralEternity
02.27.17 | moonlight is vastly superior ye, I actually enjoyed that blunder, just rubbing it in how la la land is the inferior flick. |
Papa Universe
02.27.17 | I thought that it was just (as I said) a collection of different 'things happening' and plot going in no actual direction. Even the main character didn't really go through any real change, cause at the end he is basically exactly the same as at the beginning, a quiet wishy-washy figurine with a vague personality. |
Divaman
02.27.17 | I haven't watched the stupid thing in years. None of the movies I go to are ever up for any major awards, so for me, it's a snorefest. |
brainmelter
02.27.17 | Moonlight is good but no. Not saying la la land should have won. But Moonlight best picture, really? bs. for a second I thought hidden figures might win because of pc'ness.
sad Lion didn't take a single award tho
moonlight is a pretty disappointing movie the more I think about it |
anat
02.27.17 | i've only seen lion and arrival and i liked them both a heck ton |
brainmelter
02.27.17 | Lion and arrival are great. Arrival got a couple awards, which is good but lion got no respec :/
I saw Manchester like 3 months ago the first week it was released not knowing a thing about it with my girl and before all the hype flooded in. so I really enjoyed that expericne but I'm sure I would have been kind of disappointed had I seen it even a week later. because yes that movie was quite over hyped for a movie about nothing. quality movie |

02.27.17 | Kimmel did such a great job hosting. |

02.27.17 | lmao at the people raging against """political correctness""" and shit, pathetic |
dreamgazing
02.27.17 | if la la land had won, that'd just be another good example of how phony mainstream award events are, always awarding artistry not on critical and public reception but on sales, comparable to how adele won the grammys based merely on the fact she sold more, when the artist with better nuance and artistry was clearly beyonce. moonlight winning is a good fuck you to the system, and i am glad it did win. |

02.27.17 | Hacksaw Ridge was the only bp nominee I watched. |

02.27.17 | ^ exactly |
Papa Universe
02.27.17 | "moonlight winning is a good fuck you to the system"
A fuck you to the system would be Hell or High Water or Arrival. These are the kinds of films that would never win an Oscar for best picture or screenplay, because of the 'system'. Moonlight is as typical a win as you can get. You are right on the mainstream thing though. La La Land was the most obvious possible pick there could be, but an Oscar always goes either to the most talked about film or to the hooray-PC stuff, which is exactly what Moonlight is. |
