Are any of the nominated movies actually any good? Saw Manchester by the Sea today - ugh. Was like a 3 hour torture session, completely miserable.

Saw arrival - meh.

Hell or high water was okay I guess, pretty forgettable, surprised it was nominated.

Any of the other 3 worth a look or should I save 6 hours of my life?

There's 9 best picture nominees.

I've seen Hacksaw Ridge, Moonlight, Lion, Hell or High Water, and Arrival and thought they were all worth seeing although I agree with Arrival being kind of meh.

Lion And La La Land were the two best imo. Forced to choose one I'd go Lion.

I didn't watch them but having read about them Suicide Squad winning an Oscar for make up causing a bunch of pretentious ***** to lose their **** on the internet is the best win.

I clap similarly to avoid hitting my other hand on my ring. I've got nerve damage from it.
Wait. Two possibilities here

1) You clap soooo much that you've developed nerve damage from hitting your ring.
B. You developed nerve damage trying to not hit your ring.

Which is it?

Apparently she was clapping like that because she was wearing expensive rings. In which case she should've just followed Lennon's advice and "rattled her jewelry".

Denzel got robbed. But 4 out of the big 6 awards going to black actors/pictures would have been pandering even Stevie Wonder could see.

maybe so, but the winners and losers of these "awards" have always been pandering to someone or something. white or black or whatever. it's all a shitshow of self absorbed people congratulating each other on how awesome they think they are. they play dress up and pretend for a living. it isn't supposed to be taken seriously lol. hell i'm surprised everyone didn't get a trophy for showing up this time around. make everyone happy. oscars for everyone. because we actors are all more important than everyone else.

One minority won all the awards from an industry run by a different minority. Maybe we need a special award that a white christian could be eligible for.
