Now get ready for a weeks-long cacophony of right-wingers crying about liberal SJW Hollywood, reverse racism, rigged Oscars, etc. Maybe our illustrious prez will even weigh in!

get that OUT of my face: Feb 10, 2007

one part of me likes the fact that moonlight actually won over la la land, which was considered to be not as good and actively appealed to hollywood narcissism

another, more cynical part of me thinks that moonlight won because of political posturing instead of the voters thinking it's a better movie

# ? Feb 27, 2017 07:06

JFairfax: Oct 23, 2008; by FactsAreUseless

I saw both movies in the theatre and Moonlight is definitely the better movie.

Innocent mistake? No. Political commentary.

Noun Verber: Oct 12, 2006; Cool party, guys.

Moonlight didn't have a gigantic shot where dozens of peoples faces are in shadow because they filmed at the wrong time of day so it's automatically got better direction.

So how many years of giving awards to straight white people does giving Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor to gay black men buy Hollywood? They even got extra credit for taking it away from the straight white movie retroactively

I'm thinking 5-6 years worth

Of the 10 entries in the OP contest, the only one that got Moonlight right for best picture was the entry where I just randomly flipped a coin for every category

3-4 years for me. it's almost like token representation at the most egotistical awards show out there doesn't solve the underlying problem of racism and lack of nonwhite stars and directors in Hollywood at large. hmmmmmmm
