Is anyone here watching the 89th Academy Awards ceremony tonight? I will not be, but I understand that it is a rather big deal for most people. The nominees for best picture tonight are:
- Arrival
- Fences
- Hacksaw Ridge
- Hell or High Water
- La La Land
- Lion
- Manchester by the Sea
- Moonlight
Out of those nine, I have only seen Hell or High Water (which was actually pretty great; Jeff Bridges is always excellent) and honestly prior to the last two weeks, I had only heard of two others. How many of those movies have you seen? Do you have a prediction for what will win? Do you care what wins?
As always, this is an overnight open thread intended for all non-football discussion. So, feel free to comment on the topic or just talk about whatever the hell you want. I am not your mother. I really do not care.
