My Wins 2016

To be completely truthful I just made this post because the last comments section was getting a bit cumbersome, so here's a fresh one for the upcoming awards.

Louis Morgan said...

Very deserving win as well.

Calvin Law said...

Hacksaw Fuckin' Ridge, take that Robert :P (I jest)

Robert MacFarlane said...

I can live with this particular Hacksaw win.

Louis Morgan said...

Time for Davis to win.

Calvin Law said...

Win she did, and that speech...that speech.

Charles H said...

Phenomenal win for Viola Davis. And for Hacksaw Ridge.

Calvin Law said...

Also, anyone wanna see Davis and Mark Rylance play a sweet but macabre couple in some sort of dark comedy?

Louis Morgan said...

Come on the Salesman.

Louis Morgan said...

Yes!!!!!

Calvin Law said...

My friend managed to catch that today and she was equally as positive as you Louis. I can feel your positive vibes seeping through.

Luke Higham said...

Louis: It couldn't be anything else. :)

Louis Morgan said...

Pretty strong set of winners so far.

Luke Higham said...

Louis: With the exception of Suicide Squad.

Luke Higham said...

Louis: Do you think The Salesman would've won, if the travel ban wasn't in effect.

Charles H said...

Suicide Squad almost ruined the whole night for me. Luckily they're picking up the pace. Some great winners.

Luke Higham said...

Louis: Did you hear about The Salesman having its UK premiere in Trafalgar Square, hours before the ceremony.

Calvin Law said...

Luke: Yeah, my friend went to that.

Louis Morgan said...

Luke:

Impossible to say, Erdmann could have easily just not played with the Academy.

Had not heard about that.

Calvin Law said...

Also, these awards so far are a pretty big 'fuck you' to Trump in the most nuanced way possible.

Calvin Law said...

Louis: It was a pretty big deal, free screening and everything, I'm annoyed I couldn't attend.

Calvin Law said...

Would've preferred Moana or Kubo, but Zootopia is a good film.

Louis Morgan said...

La La Land finally wins, and for one of its most deserving.

Calvin Law said...

Agreed.

Charles H said...

La La Land finally wins. Excellent choice. Love this segment too.

Robert MacFarlane said...

FUCK

Louis Morgan said...

Muh ha ha ha ha ha(I apologize for the evil cackle)

Calvin Law said...

HACKSAW FUCKINGGGGGGG RIDGE

Charles H said...

McFly's back! Hacksaw Ridge rides again.

Calvin Law said...

I'm actually so happy, so happy, so happy, so happy, so happy...

Luke Higham said...

If Silence wins Cinematography, It'll be the moment of the night for me.

Charles H said...

Hacksaw Ridge is doing very well tonight. Very happy about this.

Calvin Law said...

Dunno about you guys but I like Kimmel as a host.

Louis Morgan said...

Far more tolerable than most actually.

Anonymous said...

Louis what would be your top five for director?

Louis Morgan said...

Anonymous:

1. Scorsese
2. Chazelle
3. Villeneuve
4. Gibson
5. Jarmusch

Charles H said...

Well, i'm happy and sad about this. La La Land was very deserving of cinematography too.

Louis Morgan said...

Would have loved a Silence upset, but nevertheless a very deserving win.

Calvin Law said...

Good choice!

Calvin Law said...

Louis: Is Waititi your number 6?

Anonymous said...

While I prefer Silence's cinematography, La La Land's win was deserving.

Louis Morgan said...

Calvin:

Yes.

Calvin Law said...

Can't argue against having Jarmusch up there. Best Director's been awfully competitive these last two years.

Anonymous said...

Oh and your top ten scenes of 2016.

Robert MacFarlane said...

La La Land's score is pretty easily my favorite win of its bunch.

Louis Morgan said...

Anonymous:

I'll go one scene per film.

1. Crucifixion by the Sea - Silence
2. Ending - Hell or High Water
3. Epilogue - La La Land
4. Drive it Like You Stole It - Sing Street
5. "I can hear you" - Hacksaw Ridge
6. The Punch - The Salesman
7. Odin Himself - Green Room
8. Ending - Arrival
9. "Shit just got real" - Hunt for the Wilderpeople
10. "But you know what she wanted" - Paterson

Charles H said...

Keep the La La Land love coming please. Heavily deserving.

Louis Morgan said...

Great win for Score, A Good one for Song (Audition would have been better)

Charles H said...

Glad they mentioned Paxton.

Louis Morgan said...

Great night for Calvin.

Charles H said...

Wow, Manchester wins SOMETHING.

Calvin Law said...

What a day! WHAT A LOVELY DAY.

But yeah, actually I wouldn't have minded a Hell or High Water win. You know, if I re-watch it I might give it the slight edge. Lonergan has more of an ear for dialogue, but Sheridan's plotting is undoubtedly tighter.

Also, MOONLIGHT.

Charles H said...

At this point. Here's who i hope wins the rest of the awards.

La La Land
La La Land
La La Land
La La Land
La La Land

Honorable mention - La La Land.

Luke Higham said...

Charles: What happened to wanting an Affleck win.

Calvin Law said...

I'm actually kind of digging the idea of a Mortensen upset.

Louis Morgan said...

Chazelle wins, all is as it should be.

Robert MacFarlane said...

At least it wasn't Gibson.

Calvin Law said...

Chazelle, yay!

Louis Morgan said...

Well with Actor/Actress, as long as Streep doesn't win, it will be a strong winner.

Charles H said...

Luke: Anyone except Denzel. I'd love a Gosling win just as much as an Affleck win. The category is excellent.

Charles H said...

Am i the only one who thinks Chazelle looks sickly?

Calvin Law said...

Probably just nerve-wracked by it all.

Louis Morgan said...

SAG streak finally broken.

Bryan L. said...

Yes! I doubled down on Casey! :D

Calvin Law said...

Affleck!! I'm pleasantly surprised. Although I was expecting and prepared to love a Denzel win, this is great :)

Charles H said...

I am very happy right now. Goodbye SAG streak. Goodbye 3rd Oscar Denzel.

Anonymous said...

Surprised that Affleck won. But whatever, he deserved it.

Calvin Law said...

I'm feeling Huppert now, but it'll probably be Stone.

Louis Morgan said...

Stone! yes!

Calvin Law said...

Stone takes it home, and if this doesn't go to La La Land I'll eat my hat.

Anonymous said...

YAAAAY! Stone won!

Louis Morgan said...

Baring a last minute write in Nocturnal Animals upset, this is a fine set of winners.

Charles H said...

Phenomenal win for Emma Stone. Overly deserved.

Matt Mustin said...

Emma Stone won and I'm just so happy.

Calvin Law said...

Or Warren Beatty sneaks a Rules Don't Apply win in.

Calvin Law said...

Yep, La La Land.

Anonymous said...

Probably the only musical I'm fine with winning Best Picture.

Louis Morgan said...

What??????????

Charles H said...

What the fuck?

Robert MacFarlane said...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, a twist worthy of Shyamalan.

Bryan L. said...

Ok wait...

Anonymous said...

What the hell just happened?!

Louis Morgan said...

Well that was something else. I guess expect the picture/director split these days.

Charles H said...

My heart sunk, but it was somehow hilarious. Blame this on Warren Beatty.

Maciej said...

Wow, was that embarrassing...

Bryan L. said...

I had La La Land winning Best Picture D:

Robert MacFarlane said...

I'm ecstatic, I adored Moonlight much more than La La Land.

Calvin Law said...

OMG

I'm like, really really happy...but also kinda weirdly sad.

Louis Morgan said...

It's a shame Moonlight had to win that way. Though I preferred La La Land, still a strong winner. Plus hey, La La Land can avoid the best picture backlash.

Calvin Law said...

Man, the backlash for this is going to be outrageous.

Robert MacFarlane said...

Not gonna lie, I've been laughing my ass off for 15 straight minutes and I can't stop.

Bryan L. said...

If I would've predicted a Director/Picture split, I would've gone with Barry Jenkins and La La Land, not...well this.

ruthiehenshallfan99 said...

Oh dear. What an awkward situation.

ruthiehenshallfan99 said...

Robert: Speaking of Shyamalan, he just tweeted something about that out.
