    By my count, Moonlight was nominated for 8 Oscars, including best supporting actor and actress, director, picture, adapted screenplay, film editing, original score, and cinematography.

    8 nominations and all in good categories. Oscars are 'not' so white this year!

    Not so fast... the black community hasn't accepted Moonlight as a black film/film for black people.

    Further proof that the films were weak last year. I would bet that this is the first year in which most average ppl haven't seen at least half of the films nominated (that includes Moonlight).

    Well congrats to them. One of my favorite movies of all time, and I just saw it 'bout three weeks ago. They deserve the nominations, but I'm hoping for Best Picture in the end because to me, the movie was just that good. And I love the fact that it displayed the other unfortunate aspects of his life and the shit that he's been through besides his sexuality. The way that this story was told really deserves at least one trophy. And what @Nick Delmacy said because I don't watch that many movies, and I only watched like three movies that came out last year anyways, but yay for the community!

    And you people who make these oversexualized black gay YouTube series (that's what MyVidsters for)!!!

    WATCH THE MOVIE AND TAKE SOME DAMN NOTES!!!!!

    You are not the only fan here, thankfully! There is a lot to celebrate here, even if 2017 will forever be remembered as "The Year of Weak Films".

    This summer especially....I think Captain America: Civil War was probably the best blockbuster this year, not much else.

    Right? Don't think its worthy of the editing and cinematography noms at least? It's an art film before anything after all.

    But it's okay you gon take this L @Nick Delmacy. Care to join me tonight for Manchester by the Sea and chill? :franko1:

    I've already articulated why I didn't like Moonlight, the reasons were not just "hate." I've followed the Awards (Oscars, Emmys, Grammys) closely for over 10 years and I've seen the type of works that get nominated. This film and others from this year pale in comparison to previous years.

    The same could be said about our 2016 presidential candidate options. It was a weak year, so we get disappointing candidates and even more disappointing winners.

    Oh no does that make La La Land the Trump of 2016?

    Some have def argued that. I've heard industry ppl complain that La La Land is just an actor vanity project for Ryan Gosling disguised as an above average musical featuring 2 leads that can't sing very well.

    There is also talk that they demoted Viola Davis from the Best Actress category to Best Supporting Actress for FENCES so she wouldn't have to lose to Emma Stone like she did to Meryl Streep in 2012.
