I'm not a big fan of sci-fi, but ARRIVAL is clearly at the top of the heap.
That said, the beginning's slow--do we really need to spend a minute watching her pull into her drive, park, get out and walk to the house?--and the movie goes on a few more minutes than it needs to, well after we "got it." But 97% of the flick is flawless.
Although her nose did pull me out of the film a few times.
It should win best adapted screenplay, although Moonlight probably will.
Oh hey. That's tomorrow.
Best Picture: Moonlight
Actor: Casey
Actress: Not sure. Haven't seen two or three of those.
Supporting actor: Dude from Moonlight
Supporting actress: Viola Davis
Adapted screenplay: Moonlight. Fences would be a nice upset though.
Original screenplay: I dunno. LaLa or Machester. Or The Lobster might be a surprise.
(Lots of black people will win. Too many innocent blacks got shot by cops last year, so it's the least we can do.)
The technical stuff...why bother? Everything looks and sounds great anymore.
