I loved La La Land, it was so much fun! I want it to win for everything. I think there's a good chance it will. They're my favourite actors. I love him.

I liked Hacksaw Ridge but it was GORY. Moonlight was good, it's kinda slow imo but really good. The actors were seriously amazing. You def. need to be more liberal I think to like it bc of what it's about. I recommend. I thought Hidden Figures was good. Not like super wow great but definitely really good. Lion was super wow great! I haven't seen the rest of them yet.
Eta Oh I did see Florence Foster Jenkens. Meryl Streep was fantastic but tbh I don't want her to win only bc she's already the actor who's won the most Oscars of anybody in history. I think it would be great if somebody who never won one won this year. It would be kind of fun to hear what she has to say in her speech if she does win again tho!

Hacksaw Ridge
What that one soldier did, under the most grievous of circumstances, is remarkable.

I think he won for Braveheart, a movie he made in the 90s.

 

[Godlovesmetwo]

I liked Gibson as an actor. He was good in Braveheart and one in the eightees called "Gallipoli".

 

[Godlovesmetwo]

I agree with Tallyguy about Denzel Washington. He deserves an academy award if he hasn't got one already.

I think he won 1 already but I'm not sure about that either. I saw this movie from the 90s with him & Tom Hanks in it. Philadelphia. AMAZING. I cried but it was so worth it. I think Tom Hanks won an Oscar for it, he deserved it if he did. Denzel Washington was really great in it too.

I've never seen Gallipoli. I watched Braveheart when it was on TV. I think a lot of the violence was edited out which is good bc I don't like that stuff too much. It was good!

My prediction is that the drama movie about an alcoholic, mentally ill, illiterate black woman coming to terms with her sexual orientation during the Holocaust will sweep the awards.

Winken: "Hacksaw Ridge: What that one soldier did, under the most grievous of circumstances, is remarkable."

If you can tolerate the necessary gore, then "Hacksaw Ridge" is the best movie for a Christian to see. Prejudice against Aussies like Mel Gibson (and perhaps bettercallpaul) will prevent it from winning Best Picture. But I consider this true story the best movie in the past several years. You could here sobbing in the theater when I saw it. When it debuted at the Vienna Film Festival, it received a 10 minute standing ovation. btw, I'm not a pacifist like the movie's central character.

I don't watch much movies, I mainly watch TV series.
Movies are so short --- only one and a half hours, there's not much time for the story to develop.
So short and yet so expensive.

The TV series I watch are all on DVDs, not on TV. Yes, all I watch are on DVDs. So I have the control
on what I watch, I never get to watch any boring (and sometimes offensive) ads.

I saw this movie from the 90s with him & Tom Hanks in it. Philadelphia. AMAZING. I cried but it was so worth it.

It was subtle and moving. Hanks was great I agree.

We didn't see everything...we saw Hidden Figures, LaLa Land, Hacksaw Ridge, Manchester by the Sea, and Lion.

My choice: Hidden Figures, closely followed by Hacksaw Ridge. LaLa Land would come in third.

Performances: Andrew Garfield in Hacksaw Ridge was astonishing. Also saw Casey Affleck and Ryan Gosling. Garfield's role was the most challenging, and he met the challenge--perhaps even exceeded it.

In the female nominations, I only saw Streep and Emma Stone. Neither Gosling nor Stone can sing--and if they didn't have the vocal chops, even with echo chambers and auto tune, they didn't belong in a musical. Years ago, they would have dubbed her songs with Marni Nixon's voice--as they did in "West Side Story." Streep, as always, "became" the character.

I did love Olivia Spencer in Hidden Figures, and even though I am a huge Viola Davis fan, I would love to see Spencer get the Oscar.
