Those songs from La La Land were actually really good, by the way. It might actually be a good musical. Those are frighteningly rare. I might have to see it.
I dug it! I'm not one to necessarily care about a film's Oscar-worthiness, but on its own merits it was a fun time with good music tying together a well-made, if not always original, film. It wears its influences on its sleeve, and really does its best to emulate its progenitors in a modern setting.
I wrote a little more about it in my thread when I saw it on Friday.
It's too bad the BAF segment was like five seconds long
I wonder how hard the "alt-right" shrieked about that piece of liberal propaganda winning
Better yet, a movie where the antagonist...
Fuck. I really don't want to spoil it for the people who haven't seen it.
OK, I'll frame it like this: The winner in the Best Animated Film category is blatantly about the use of violent racial stereotyping and subterfuge by a terrorist cell as the cornerstone of an authoritarian populist demagogue's bid to gain unprecedented political power.
That was the most interesting moment of the evening.
Although Viola Davis' acceptance speech was, uh, wow. From the first sentence. Kimmel was right when he suggested she should be nominated for an Emmy then and there.
It was part of a really intense and eloquent... something, about how the greatest potential can be found in those who can never fulfil it—which is to say, the dead.
It was more about the power of art to allow those who can never speak to be spoken for, and for the dreams of those who could never realise them to reach fruition. It was actually incredibly moving.
so BEYOND that, you know how there's that thing where tv shows take 50 minutes or whatever, so if it looks like things are over early you're just like, ha ha, what's the new twist
in this episode they genuinely resolve the main plot ten minutes early and spend the remaining time arguing over who will row them back to civilization

And it's a Disney movie.

3 rewarding interactions to every 50 deeply unpleasant ones

This girl, right here.
"This is so stupid."
There's a Key & Peele skit for most things.
