All virtue signaling and rewarding old actors in shite roles because they missed when they were actually great.

Literally any of the other four could’ve won and I’d have been happy.

I’m a fan of both actors, but I probably would have given the Oscar to Fiennes.

That would be Moonlight over La La Land.


Eh. A 5/10 beat a 6/10. Arrival, Manchester by the Sea, and Hell or High Water were the only three films worth a damn in that race.



I submit A Beautiful Mind over The Fellowship of the Ring, and Ron Howard directing such bland and obvious Oscar bait over David Lynch and Mulholland Drive for director. I know people here still love this movie while saying things like "the oscars have always been bullshite." It's saccharine, LCD nonsense like A Beautiful Mind winning throughout the Oscars' history have made them bullshite.

(Not really. It's an award show to enjoy, and it's ridiculous to take them seriously as a validation of your own opinion.)

Fictional, but an incredible work of art


I worry that you're using this word unintentionally.

Fictionalized and fictional are 2 entirely separate things.

Amon Göth was a historical figure.

If we went by acting alone, Manchester by the Sea is a contender for best movie of the decade.

In all seriousness, any of you folks who value acting and have not seen this one are missing out. Everyone brought their A-game.
