4 Things that Excited Me<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. La La Land<\/em>, with 14 nominations, equalled the record previously shared by All About Eve<\/em> and Titanic<\/em>. It deserves every single one and even though it won\u2019t win all of them, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it equals or breaks the record of 11 wins held by The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King<\/em>, Ben Hur <\/em>and Titanic<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s my review: http:\/\/scadradio.org\/2016\/11\/04\/la-la-land\/<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Hooray for diversity! While I\u2019m not really a proponent of tokenism (as I feel that it can ultimately hurt the integrity of the very people that seek representation), it\u2019s become incredibly evident over the past few years that the Oscars fail to recognize the diversity of voices and stories that are currently being told. 4 out of the 9 Best Picture nominees either starred or were directed by POC (and in the case of Fences <\/em>and Moonlight<\/em>, both), and 7 out of 20 acting nominees were POC. That\u2019s a huge step in the right direction. #OscarsSomewhatDiverse, I guess?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Here\u2019s my review of Moonlight<\/em>: http:\/\/scadradio.org\/2017\/01\/16\/moonlight\/<\/a><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Although Arrival <\/em>wasn\u2019t in my top 5 films of the year (it\u2019s hovering somewhere around the #10 spot), it\u2019s wonderful to see an intelligent sci-fi film earn 8 nominations. I\u2019ll touch on this film later when I talk about the snubs, but Denis Villeneuve is one of the most promising up-and-coming directors working today. I also would love to give a somewhat biased shoutout to its screenwriter Eric Heisserer, who I had the immense privilege of interviewing at the Savannah Film Festival.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Here\u2019s my interview: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UvBW0iItlIk<\/a><\/p>\n

        Here\u2019s my review: http:\/\/scadradio.org\/2016\/11\/20\/arrival\/<\/a><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Amazon made history as the first streaming service to have a film nominated for Best Picture with Manchester by the Sea<\/em>. It\u2019s a great film, equal parts darkly comic, tragic and heartwarming. Amazon also committed to giving the film a sizeable theatrical release (this strategy directly contrasts that of their closest rival, Netflix), and they\u2019ve reaped the benefits as a result. Props to Amazon for identifying a quality piece of non-commercial film and giving it the push it deserves. They took a gamble by marketing the film based on spoiler-free trailers and positive word of mouth. It worked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

          4 Things that Bummed Me Out<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. As far as I\u2019m concerned, the biggest snub of the night was the Academy\u2019s decision to not nominate Amy Adams for her stellar work in Arrival<\/em>. Yes, the Best Actress field was stacked this year, but aside from Emma Stone, Adams was arguably the favorite to win. She gave one of the best performances of her career in Arrival<\/em>, and has still somehow never won an Oscar, despite being nominated five times.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Another notable snub was Joel Edgerton for Loving<\/em>, despite being up against far less stiff competition than Amy Adams. The film works because of Ruth Negga and Edgerton\u2019s quiet, understated chemistry, and Edgerton expertly portrays a man trying to stay strong for his family in the face of unconscionable prejudice and hatred. He also sounds and looks completely unrecognizable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

               <\/p>\n

              Here’s our\u00a0review of Loving:\u00a0https:\/\/scadradio.org\/2017\/01\/16\/loving\/<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              \n
                \n
              1. Sing Street<\/em> was one of the most charming and crowd-pleasing films of 2016, and while I can understand why it wasn\u2019t nominated for some of the more high-profile awards (even though Jack Reynor absolutely deserves a nod for Best Supporting Actor), it\u2019s an absolute crime that none of its outstanding original songs received their due recognition. I don\u2019t know who I would knock out (I certainly think La La Land <\/em>deserves to have two songs nominated), but I do know that Sing Street <\/em>makes its original songs almost as fun and catchy as its excellent licensed soundtrack, and since the film features songs from Duran Duran and The Cure (among many others), that to me is quite the achievement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. One of my favorite movies of the year was Taika Waititi\u2019s Hunt for the Wilderpeople<\/em>. It\u2019s tough to describe for those who haven\u2019t seen it, but I\u2019ll try. Imagine if Edgar Wright (director of Shaun of the Dead <\/em>and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World<\/em>, to name a couple) directed a live-action version of Pixar\u2019s Up<\/em>, and wove in the rustic charm of Beasts of the Southern Wild<\/em>. It\u2019s riotously funny, offbeat, endearingly charming, and even more importantly, it\u2019s got a real gut to it. It balances all of these tones expertly, and utilizes its epic New Zealand setting brilliantly. With all that said, I can\u2019t believe it didn\u2019t receive a nod for Best Foreign Film. It\u2019s one of the most underrated and underappreciated movies of the year, and I for one am very excited for Waititi\u2019s upcoming Thor: Ragnarok<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                   <\/p>\n

                  So, those are my brief thoughts. Overall, I thought there were fewer egregious snubs than in years past. I\u2019ll admit, I haven\u2019t seen all of the nominated films that I want to see, so I\u2019m making that my mission over the next month.<\/p>\n

                  I\u2019ll write a detailed recap of the Oscars after the ceremony, but for now I wanted to leave you with a few recommendations and observations to chew on.<\/p>\n
