Time will tell but I wouldn't count on it. I think the majority of the other nominated films will hold up better over time. But Hollywood gets to call themselves heroes for the choice and that is all that matters.


It's a shame you see that movie through such a cynical lens.

I didn't think it was flawless, and it's cool if you had another preference. I just don't think people voted for it so they could call themselves heroes.

Art is subjective so I am perfectly okay with whatever decision the voters decide on, but politics does play a part and making the politically correct choice can be personally very rewarding. Time will tell whether it was a great movie or just a great cause.

The error in your thinking is you watched that movie and saw a cause.

I think errors by the filmmaker made me see the movie that way. The story/ideas were the best thing about the film but his execution of the middle stanza took me out of the emotionally compelling narrative and deposited me in a made for TV after school special. The 3rd act redeemed the film though.

Hell or High Water handled a social cause much more deftly.

As long as "La La Land" didn't win, I, too, was happy. It was the "Birdman" of 2016, which is to say, overrated.

I think one would be mistaken if one didn't think the backlash from last year's whitewashed awards didn't have some impact of the voting for Moonlight - not that the film wasn't deserving.

Eh. The giant influx of new members probably had more to do with it. I think if Moonlight came out last year it still wins.

Reminded me of the old legend that Marisa Tomei wasn't the true winner of Best Supporting Actress.

Yeah, she's the one smiling. For years people have been perpetrating that myth when there were people and a procedure in place to stop the show and make sure the right people got the award. Now, we have a concrete example she can point to and hopefully shut people up.
