Haven't seen any of the nominees for anything people care about.

So, does 'Kubo' lose to 'Moana' or 'Zootopia'? Takin all bets, takin all bets. Does 'Trolls' or 'Sausage Party' swoop in at the eleventh hour and steal it out from under Disney's nose? Takin all bets, here. Give a holla, place a dolla. Takin all bets.

2016 was such a mess that I forgot many of these came out last year, like Zootopia.

Jungle Book got a nomination for something? Nice. It won't win but I thoroughly enjoyed that movie.

Can't wait for half the panel to be like "I didn't watch all the animated movies but my daughter loved Zootopia so I'm voting for it :) "
I believe in second chances, and that's why I believe in you.

The Oscar nominated film Suicide Squad

I've only seen two of the best picture nominees (Arrival and Hell or High Water) and neither of them has a real chance of winning. It's likely gonna be La La Land winning everything but I could see Moonlight with a potential upset. Which would be neat because of everything nominated I think I've seen most universal praise for that.

Also there's a significant lack of Sing Street in the original song category. "Drive It Like You Stole It" and "The Riddle of the Model" are infinitely better than that Justin Timberlake trash.
and that's the waaaaaaaaaay the news goes

Well, having seen images of the hair and makeup from Suicide Squad, I'm not too surprised it got a nomination. If not just for Margot Robbie.

And the movies that win Oscars are rarely the most popular movies.

"and the winner for Best Film goes to Sad French Man with Bike"
*clap clap clap*
"bonjour, I am the director of Sad French Man with Bike, I would like to thank you all. When I was just a boy I dreamed of making a film about a sad man, at first he had a trumpet but now he has a bike as you've heard. I would like to thank my sister for financing this film and letting me stay in her basement, I'd like to thank the 30 people who have heard of this film, I would like to thank my lead actor for being a trooper whenever I berated him to get him into the role, thank you all"

Suicide Squad is an Oscar-winning movie. Is the MCU finished?

I'm not watching. Did they actually announce the wrong best picture?
