Oscars 2017

So the oscar nominations have been revealed. What do you guys think?

I've seen most of the films on the list by now. My biggest issue is Amy Adams not getting a nomination. She had two great roles with Arrival and Nocturnal Animals, and could've been nominated for either of them. But it's not the first time that the Academy ignores her.

Also a bit disappointed with Nocturnal Animals not getting more nominations. I thought it was the best film of the year, and was pretty fantastic when it comes to the technical side and acting. As for Michael Shannon getting the best supporting actor nomination, I thought Aaron Taylor-Johnson had a more memorable role in the same film.

As for La La Land, I can't disagree with any of the nominations really. I don't think it deserves to win most of them, though. Glad Hacksaw Ridge did well, probably my fave film of the year after Nocturnal Animals. Didn't expect Mel Gibson to get a nod.

As for animation, surprised by the lack of Pixar. I think Zootopia will win, and I would be okay with that, but my personal fave was Moana. I didn't really like Kubo and the Two Strings... (though I can't disagree with the best visual effects nomination).

Passengers for original score is silly. They had so many choices (Hell or High Water, Nocturnal Animals, Hacksaw Ridge, Moana, even Kubo) and went for "generic sci-fi score 1".

Here are the nominations:

I just want Lin Manuel Miranda to win but I know he won't :(

La La Land was amazing I hope it wins a lot - maybe not 14 nominations good but to be honest, bit of a dry year reading the nominations.
