The rest of the movie was good, and Janelle Monae was great in this and in Hidden Figures.
And yes it should win best picture, simply because it was so well written and executed. I refuse to believe that cloying pile of garbage la la land is a better movie.
Sadly, I predict it will win. Why? Not because it's all that great, but because it is about Hollywood. Most everyone actually voting for Oscars is immersed in Hollywood. They'll be voting for their own vision of what they think Hollywood is about. Same reason Birdman won a couple years ago. Hollywood navel gazing.
When you live under a bridge, it is easy to see others as a troll. Trying to get kudos for at best backhanded compliments? Really?
It is my impression that very few local liberals even pay attention to the Academy Awards these days, and those that do tend to skew towards an older and more Caucasian demographic.
