Well, the Razzies have long gotten by on just picking on easy targets that people love to hate. Fantastic 4 was an awful film, but was it really worse than The Human Centipede 3? I'm actually surprised they resisted the urge to give more to BvS this year.

It isn't that clear cut. As a pure performance, Robards was clearly better. And on the other hand, Alec Guinness brings a lot of warmth and gravitas to the role, but as a performance he is barely trying in his movie (as he himself admitted). NO ONE can truly say that Alec Guinness did any kind of acting in this…

It's hard to say but I think it would have. It's a prestige picture by a well known and popular director in Hollywood. Plus it's a period piece, involves the film industry, and is 'topical'.

Star Wars is a pulp, drive in genre film. Hell it's practically a B-movie. People who say it should have won BP are judging it purely on hindsight.

I would like to see it as well. Eveni just this year, in my view, Kim Min-hee deserved an Oscar nomination for her work in The Handmaiden., certainly more so than Octavia Spencer or Meryl Streep.

Prometheus had a lot of problems, and frankly Ridley Scott's work as a whole has been very hit-or-miss. But Prometheus is well directed and has some very effective sequences. It suffers a lot from a terrible script where the rewrites are extremely obvious. The only thing about the direction I can really criticize is…

I was thinking the same thing. But to be fair, there are a few explanation for it to make it somewhat plausible.

" it's basically just a copy/paste of the first movie. "

"Neill Blomkamp"

It's a tight and well executed thriller, but not much more. Its attempts at getting across themes are laughably ham handed. Being nominated for screenplay is frankly bizarre to me.

Hell Or High Water would not hold up well as an BP winner at all frankly. It's a tigh, well executed thriller with good performances but not much more. It's the sort of film that you're glad got nominated but you would never vote for. The nomination is the reward.

It's a pretty weak category which is the only reason La La Land has a chance in this category. I mean, what else is going to win: Hell or High Water?? I think Manchester by the Sea though should probably win this.

I thought Hugh Jackman did a credible job in selling the 'live musical' concept. Russell Crowe was laughably bad though.

Because that means 'intense'. It's honestly one of the most shamelessly emotionally manipulative films I've ever seen.

I agree completely. I actually thought Barks was better and more nuanced than Anne Hathaway's manipulative sad puppy act in Les Mis. But as usual, Éponine gets overlooked.

If you hear him speak, one of the things that will strike you about Stalin is how soft-spoken and non-threatening he sounds. I actually think that this is scarier, as it makes it harder to distance ourselves from him as a person and dismiss him as a raving madman.

Saving Private Ryan I think is one of the most overrated films I've ever seen. It's an awesome 10 minute scene trapped inside a mediocre 150 minute war film. Plus the bookend scenes are so cheesy they almost ruin the movie for me.

To be honest, any one of the films that year should have been a better win than Crash.

It still should have won best picture over the likes of Crash.

The scene where he uses the guy's torso as a shield was so over the top and stupid it looked like something out of Tropic Thunder.
