I've only seen three so far but;
1. LION - A great movie based on a true unbelievable story, one of the most emotional films I've seen in a while. I also have this movie to win for Best Score. But it will probably go to "La La Land"
2. MOONLIGHT - Good movie, felt a bit like oscar bait, considering the events of the story, with the things going on around the world right now. Never really got to me emotionally, but a can't really relate to it so that's why. Really enjoyed the way the story was told though, and the 3 actors who played the main character. Although my favourite was Mahershala Ali's character, shame he wasn't in the movie longer as it kind of dragged when he wasn't around.
3. LA LA LAND - I have never seen a movie be so blatantly oscar bait. It was trying to reach for that nostalgia but fell flat for me with a hollow story. I really enjoyed the first 90 mins or so, but after the story took a complete 180, it went downhill. With the music I only really liked "Epilogue." And as for how much the ending has been praised for not having a "cliche" happy ending, it was actually just that "cliche." Where the two main characters give up their relationship so they can have their own lives when they could've just waited for each other. But that was to "cliche" isn't it?
1. LION - 8.5/10
2. MOONLIGHT - 7.5/10
3. LA LA LAND - 7/10
