Best Directing seemed obvious for Battle of Bastards, but not sure why it won writing. Anyway, congrats to Thrones again.

It's amazing to me that people deny the Holocaust. I mean, you can go visit several of them.

It could, but I'm seeing Moonlight this weekend and I'll likely be leaning towards that as the favorite. Arrival was very good, not sure if it'll win Best Picture though.

I don't think Moonlight is going to score much at the oscars. It's too modest and restrained. Expect many think pieces about how the Academy is filled with racist homophobes when it doesn't win.

You're probably right, but it's garnered a lot of praise and I wouldn't put it past the Academy to have a film about a gay African American man win it all so they can say "see, we aren't racist homophobes after all!" If not Moonlight, then what for Best Picture? Manchester by the Sea is getting a lot of praise, but I see Moonlight coming out ahead of that as well.

Ah, I forgot about that movie. Yup, you're right, that movie is almost a lock to win.

I think Silence could be a great film but I don't think it's going to be the kind of simple audience pleaser that the Academy goes for.

Paramount pulled The Big Short out-of-nowhere last year. They can do it again. Without no Mad Max, Revenant, Spotlight this year, the right hype and campaign could take them to the finish line. Plus, people might not be in the mood for La La Land anymore. In dark times, people want escapist entertainment but it also has to emotionally resonant. As silly as it sounds, Rogue One will be that movie this year. It has a woman in the lead. She's rebelling. She's surrounded by a Mexican, a Black and an Asian. They're fighting Darth Vader, a villain from the 70's and 80's. That's gonna speak more than a sappy musical with two white people. Rogue One will fulfill the escapism and Silence will fulfill the seriousness.

To them a sappy musical with two white people is the ideal escapist entertainment, not a Star Wars movie.
