My three biggest disappointments are Amy Adams as stated, Johan Johansson not being up for score, and Drive It Like You Stole It not being up for song.

There's nothing too terribly egregious otherwise other than some personal preference stuff like Neon Demon not being up for production design.

It will get a pity award like adapted screenplay even though it wasn't adapted from anything. If La La Land sweeps then the #oscarssowhite thing will resurface and they don't want that.

Mahershala Ali is likely going to win supporting actor. He's been cleaning up everywhere except the Globes, and the winner there isn't nominated here. It should be a lock for adapted screenplay. La La Land being nominated for everything makes me worry about its chances for directing and picture. The more I look at it, the more I'm disappointed Trevante Rhodes was left off. He certainly puts in a better performance than Dev Patel (who's borderline a lead actor anyway).

I'm wondering if the Academy is going to step up and give foreign language to Asghar Farhadi because a gigantic rear end in a top hat is preventing him from being at the ceremony. I can't speak to the quality of the films because I haven't seen any of the nominees in that category, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Academy gave the POTUS a gigantic middle finger.

This might be your lesson on how to win an Oscar. Make a film and be horribly persecuted right after!

Is La La Land actually a good movie or is it exactly what I imagine it to be?

Despite the backlash, it's still a really good movie. I think a lot of the issue people have here is that it doesn't really have a strong message like some of the movies nominated have, it's a pretty straight forward modern day musical that leans heavily on old Hollywood for inspiration. It just doesn't help when Moonlight comes out in the same year.
