I also saw Moonlight back in September and was kind of surprised to see how big it got, I thought it was solid but found the third act kind of underwhelming.
Third act made the movie for me, the first two acts, with the exceptions of Mahershala Ali and the beach scenes, felt more rote.

I feel like La La Land is the favorite, but it could end up having the 12 Years a Slave "we don't want to look racist" effect.
I'm expecting a backlash to the backlash within the next week or so.

anyway, of the films nominated for BP, I've seen 6/9, better than usual! I want to see Lion and Fences, but won't see Hacksaw Ridge on principle (gently caress YOU GIBSON YOU PIECE OF poo poo).
Is that a consistent stance to take with the stink coming off of Casey Affleck right now? BTW, I haven't seen Hacksaw either but only because Lonergan is more of my kind of filmmaker than Gibson.

Has anyone else seen Elle? It was my favorite last year, and Isabelle Huppert deserves the nomination, but I have no expectation of her winning
Elle felt like the most emblematic film of 2016.

Agreed, but he's able to explain his contrarian opinions in a way where I can at least understand where he's coming from
i did enjoy his page-long mixed reaction to moonlight
