@Dr. Narcisse @Jello Biafra props for keeping this alive. I think Emma is making a stong push here. People wrote her off too early post Lawrence, I knew she would come back.


Hell or High Water seems a like a classic, have to peep soon.

I wonder why the acting award shows are much better than music awards. I mean as far as standards and consistency.

 

[Jax]

Who's this fakkit and why would I care about his opinion?

 

[Jello Biafra]

I think La La Land will end up getting the same type of Oscar push as The Artist got. Its a romantic dramedy/musical that makes the audience feel good and doesn't tough on any sensitive topics.
The Academy (and the older white voters) will work hard as fukk to make sure it wins just to avoid having any political hot buttons during the awards show itself.
