I guess Manchester by a bit over Moonlight; liked American Honey a bit more than either.

Moonlight just over Manchester, HOHW in a solid third place.
― devvvine, Thursday, 16 February 2017 12:55 (seven years ago) link
I've seen Manchester, HoHW, Arrival and Moonlight, all solid films, but so different that chosing a best would be difficult. I guess Moonlight is the most unique and heartfelt of the lot. It won't win the oscar.

I've only seen Moonlight so Moonlight but I won't shit up the poll with my uninformed vote.

I've seen two, and will see a third one this monday, and it does sorta feel as if I've wasted my life.
Jackie should have been here.

Jackie not being here is the one silver lining.

I watched three of them (Fences/Lion/MbtS) in basically the same sitting, that makes the time expenditure seem less grievous somehow
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 16 February 2017 14:14 (seven years ago) link
Moonlight, followed by Fences, followed by Arrival/Manchester. At least those are my choices. I feel like la la land will probably win because boring whites

It's one of the least offensive clusters of nominees we've seen.

"Moonlight" is so overrated. A tasteful kind of victim narrative.

"pointless rock guitar" IS a phrase that Armond White would use.

It's an enormous pain in the ass for me to try to find and link to them right now (because ILX is technically blocked at my work) but I've also created a handful of polls that had 'Academy Award' rather than 'Oscar' in the title.
