Re: Hey remember Spotlight?
I'm still trying to forget it - it was like I'd stumbled into a feature length 60 Minutes segment.

Re: Hey remember Spotlight?
La La Land is more memorable and rewatch able simply due to the musical numbers. Without them, you're probably right that it would be just about as forgettable.

Spotlight was much better than The Revenant.

Re: Hey remember Spotlight?
Fury Road should have won. It was a pretty solid group of nominees though. I saw 7/8 and enjoyed them all.
1. The Martian 2. Bridge of Spies 3. The Revenant 4. Spotlight 5. Fury Road 6. Room 7. The Big Short

Room was easily the best but I loved Spotlight, The Revenant, and Fury Road.

Re: Hey remember Spotlight?
Fury Road has become the most iconic movie of the 2010s

1. The Martian 2. Bridge of Spies 3. The Revenant 4. Spotlight 5. Fury Road 6. Room 7. The Big Short Agree, it was, I only saw 6 though, but they're fantastic. The Big Short, The Martian, Bridge of Spies and The Revenant are notch above Fury Road and Room for me. Creed should have gotten more love though, best film of 2016.

Re: Hey remember Spotlight?
The Big Short was the best.
Never saw the Revenant.
Leo di Caprio still owes Malaysia money. What a hypocrite.

Re: Hey remember Spotlight?
another reason moonlight won't win - there's no way the academy will go for back-to-back "-light" titles winning best picture.

Re: Hey remember Spotlight?
The Big Short was the best film and should have won.
Of last year's BP nominees - I'd rank them:
1. The Big Short 2. The Revenant 3. Bridge of Spies 4. Fury Road 5. Spotlight
I should really see Room but dont think i can be bothered with The Martian.
