For the best movies of 2016 right?

 

 

I actually only watched three movies that came out in 2016, and those were The Boy (sucked badly), Independence Day: Resurgence (Not bad), and Blair Witch (It was ight)

 

 

So I'll say best film: Blair Witch, because it was kinda scary

 

Best actor: Jeff Goldblum because he was cool driving that buss like a G in Resurgence.

 

 

 

Didn't watch any other movies because all the other movies looked really gay.

Dude, you can't be surprised. Princess films like Moana are played out. Kubo had a way better chance of kicking the 55th Disney classic's ass than Moana ever would have.

 

...

 

Okay.

 

My second pick was Zootopia.

 

Kubo is not gonna win any awards.

 

Sorry bro.

 

That's like putting all your chips on Kung Fu Panda.

Well, if Kubo isn't going to win anything, than Moana really isn't going to win anything.

 

At least the former is a more original film with a more robust animation style and far better pacing. In Kubo, they conveyed emotion exactly when they needed to whereas Moana was just another average, copy and paste Disney Princess film (Albeit except without her chasing after some man).

Yeah... and Disney brings home the accolades regularly.

 

Focus Features (had to look it up) does not.

 

So Moana winning, especially behind a strong late Fall premiere, was not a very huge jump in logic.

 

And in a way, Disney wins anyway because Zootopia got the award.

 

But you keep on telling me how great this movie that barely recouped it's budget in theaters is some sort of underrated masterpiece.

Box Office-Bomb=/shitty film.

 

The Iron Giant didn't make back a dime and that film went on to become a fan favorite among many critics, as did Cats Don't Dance (Another bomb) and neither of those filmns were from Disney.

 

Kubo had a good chance of winning an Oscar (After all, it was also nominated for Special Effects). Thing is, like you mentioned, it was engulfed by the dragon of Disney, not because the film it lost to was a film about princesses and singing every 5 minutes, but because the winning film was a witty and mature film that touched on universal topics such as racism and hard work towards reaching a goal.

 

In short, Kubo lost to Zootopia not because the latter is a Disney film, but because it is a smart film with adult appeal (Which is more than can be said for Moana).

Well I got most of my pics right, missed like 4 of them

Boy what a mess at the end, you know deep down I hoped moonlight would win and it did.[/quote

 

Just more of the Trump Effect.

 

Now even the Oscars can't be trusted.

 

#FakeOscars/#FakeAwards.
