Just like 'Brokeback', 'Moonlight' will lose to an inferior film.

Granted, "La La Land" is leagues better than "Crash", it still doesn't measure up to the brilliance of "Moonlight".

For once, I wish the Academy could get it right and choose the true Best Picture of the Year, and award it to this masterpiece.

This is a movie of true cultural significance that will be remembered for generations. It's truly resonated with movie lovers and those who appreciate true art.

The Academy still has a chance to pick the correct winner.

I sincerely doubt it will, though.

Oh what a day! What a lovely day!

The movie didn't resonate with this moviegoer. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was soooo bored. The camera work was amateurish and the acting was high schooling. It is in no way comparable to BM, which was a true masterpiece

I am in agreement. The acting and beautiful cinematography in this film are extraordinary. I don't think the academy will give it best picture though unfortunately. However, I want to be proven wrong.

Yuup I agree. Although I'm not really thrilled about either nominee. I think I need to watch Moonlight again. I tried to watch La La Land, but the musical thing really turned me off. La La Land WILL win however.

La La Land is better than Crash?

Whaaat?

Honestly, this year, Best Picture should go to Arrival, but that won't happen. I'm rooting for Moonlight. I have a feeling it will go to Manchester, not La La Land.

There is another reason to fill your heart with hatred.

Neither movie is better than Lion.
