Well I'm looking more at acts themselves rather than performance 

i know but in a film i think the two inform each other. at least a bit.

[Water Bottle]

ofc La La Land won.

 

Boring, generic, vanilla choice for Best Picture. Also just a good film rather than a great one.

[aabattery]

This was fun. Thanks for hosting @Spaghetti by the Sea and @The Panda.

 

You're both living the skux life today, my friends.

 

[CoolioD1]

my favourite year is when tdkr won the list but the master won the awards. we've probably gotten too big as a forum for something as idiosyncratic as that to happen again. hell back then Silence probably would've had a good shot at the best picture.

Fair point.  Like I said I think the one award has a little more weight to it

[SLAM!]

La La Land was the best film I've seen this year.

 

I was almost worries Zootopia would get it. That's a good film, but La La Land is better imo.

[Fancyarcher]

I have no issue with that #1 choice.

also adding to that this awful new voting system pretty much guarantees a movie like the master could never win again because so many people would just rank it last. basically stacks the deck towards the "safest" choice which is why i had a problem with it.

That was also when we didn't do preferential ballots. And didn't The Master win by a single vote? It was great to see, anyway. I still remember CJohn's meltdown.

[DAR]

And SS for Worst picture.  It's not a good film by any stretch but Resurgence was just inept on so many levels

You're just salty because the new voting system is what caused you to lose the BOFFY 

 

BTW Silence moved up in the rankings from the preferential system versus straight ballot.  The new system also broke a number of ties.  In general though, both systems delivered the same winners.

[GiantCALBears]

Pink beat Chewy? I can live with that. Hopefully Coolio and Tele tied for worst.

what you're saying is that I WON THE POPULAR VOTE?

La La Land seems overrated.

 

This much idolatry for a musical? Give me a break.

Haven't seen it

[CoolioD1]

has a better opening song than la la land

 

 

[CoolioD1]

and what's that at 1:31 of this song? a pre-fame BOFFY winner Amy Adams as a random groupie!

It's a dull and overrated movie (although you clearly haven't seen it) but there's nothing wrong with musicals. They can be rad.
