The Oscars are this weekend. This year I actually have deep rooting interest so here are my picks:
Best Film:
La La Land (my choice, and will win)
La La Land is a love letter to Los Angeles and dreams and musicals. It is my definitive choice for movie of the year because it gives me infinite joy (the freeway opening, the Lovely Night number, the planetarium scene, the Gosling whistling and singing and dancing with elderly lady at the pier, the Mia audition song about her aunt in Paris) and also makes me feel infinite sadness (the ending montage - that montage...).
Best Director:
Damien Chazelle (my choice, and will win)
Best Actress:
Emma Stone (my choice, and will win)
Best Actor:
Ryan Gosling for La La Land (my choice)
Denzel Washington for Fences (will win)
Best Supporting Actor:
Lucas Hedges for Manchester By The Sea (my choice - haven't watched but I just have gut instinct this is a performance I would like)
Mahersala Ali for Moonlight (will win)
Best Supporting Actress:
Octavia Spencer for Hidden Figures (my choice - haven't watched but she's just so likable)
Viola Davis for Fences (will win)
Go, La La Land!!!!!
