La La Land! Oops, wrong envelope...

I love watching movies, but the awards are not my thing.

as long as the winner doesnt thank god, i don't care...BUT I and most of us work our asses off all day, every day,, Where is OUR award?? #wematter

I don't know. I have no answer.

What are academy awards? I haven't watched TV in years. Except the news. I don't pay for TV. In the commons area of my place, I see the news on a lot.

I do!

Best Picture - Get Out, Ladybird, or Shape of Water. The others all have flaws. I personally preferred Get Out.

Lead Actor - I really thought the best was Gary Oldman for Darkest Hour. But some sympathy votes will probably choose either Chalamet for a gay role or DDL for it being his last picture.

Lead Actress - Frances McDormand by a mile. Meryls role wasn't that good, Margot wasn't that good, Saoirse did good but I don't think they'll give it to her. Sally Hawkins could be a sympathy choice.

Supp. Actor - I am gonna say DaFoe even though Woody and Sam rockwell were both good. I could see Plummer as a sympathy vote for what he had to do to finish.

Supp. Actress - Strictly between Laurie Metcalf and Allison Janney. Both of them had excellent roles and did excellent jobs with them. I prefer Metcalf's because she turned into my mom ... but Janney probably was the best. That was a rich character. She was damn good. Octavia's role was to be herself and I didnt consider the other two even in the ballgame.

Shape of Water for B.M..
