I really hope suicide squad wins so I can say, "oh yea, if it's so bad why'd it win an oscar?"
Moonlight will win best picture.
I loved it, I just wish it had been a one off miniseries
Oh, it's bad, real bad.FUCK YES! LA LA LAND! That film is a masterpiece, it deserves to sweep.
I see the internet is quickly deciding that disliking the film is now the cool thing to do!
This would make it the first original musical to win Best Picture since 1958, having become the first to be nominated since 1967.
To the post above, lol yeah la la land was total mediocrity and safe. Gimme a break.
Lol at my great aunt going on a rant on FB about how we should be hosting Oscars for people in the military and not celebrate "pretentious snobs" like Meryl Streep. Someone is salty.

It is kind of weird how Damian Chazelle went from up-and-coming talent with Whiplash to rigid example of the old boys network re-establishing dominance through mediocrity on La La Land.
Like, it wasn't that long ago everyone really liked this kid for being an audacious filmmaker.
Now he's seen as the safe face of Hollywood complacency.
Via his melancholy musical about young people in modern day Los Angeles.
Right, I should have qualified that with 'live action'.Don't forget about beauty and the beast now, that was nominated in 1991.
OJ: Made in America is one of the best things I've ever seen. Normally I'm not a huge fan of that type of bend-the-rules/game the system type approach, but this docu deserves all the recognition in the world.
I don't mind the movie. It have Michael Crichton-level concept (in order words, not even a high concept, but a mid-tier concept.) But after watching this director's previous movie, Enemy, my opinion of The Arrival has lower. This guy only does non-linear timelines?
I only said "likely" in case Arrival gets another push in theaters. If not, Hidden Figures beats it without breaking a sweat.
I want to Kubo take animated feature. I feel like it wholeheartedly deserves it, but I know it'll be Zootopia because of the current political climate.

Kubo was much, much better than Zootopia, but since the academy seemingly doesn't watch the animated movies, the highest rated Disney movie will win by default again.
La La Land is not the best movie of the year.
Also because the academy only likes Pixar. If you're anyone else or Japanese your movie gets nothing.
Even with your statement you're giving the Academy too much credit when it comes to the animated category, with members voting movies based on things like "I hate this kiddie crap but I took my daughter to see X so I'm voting for X".
Well yeah, I'll thumb up the selection, but I know who the winner is already, so that it's still not doing much for me.You should be thumbs upping the animated category. That's a category that used to nominate stuff like Surf's Up and Bolt. Now the big blockbuster animated titles typically take up 1-2 slots, and some smaller stuff is recognized.
Of course they will still give the prize to Disney in the end.
If we're playing the importance game, Moana is a timely film as well. Kubo is my favorite, but The Red Turtle and Ma vie de Courgette are beautiful and deserving films as well considering that both of those are extraordinarily thoughtful and moving films.I know people like shit on the Best Animated Film category as the "Disney Award", but Zootopia absolutely deserves it. It's the most timely, socially relevant animated film in years. Any other year I would give it to Kubo as well, but I would argue Zootopia was a far more important film than Kubo.
2016 was a year that saw nationalism and xenophobia on the rise, the President of the United States advocating creating a Muslim registry, and mass protests for equal rights of black americans and women. So a movie that teaches kids about tolerance and acceptance of everyone even if they look different from you, and such a well-executed one at that like Zootopia, deserves every goddamn award people can throw at it as far as I'm concerned.

Not true. Multiple animated films got Best Picture nominations recently.Even with your statement you're giving the Academy too much credit when it comes to the animated category, with members voting movies based on things like "I hate this kiddie crap but I took my daughter to see X so I'm voting for X".

Janelle Monae was robbed
La la land was good. Nowhere near 14 noms good, but what am I gonna do about it.
Silence robbed
Last year there was a guy who complained about the two "Chinese" animated shorts that got nominated. One was Japanese and one was French.
oh FUCK YOU Academy with the no nominating Amy Adams.
La La Land is not the best movie of the year.
