I really wish they would've cut to Natalie Portman's reaction as her portrayal of "Jackie" a blow-hard performance built up to be a shoo-in win for her was snatched by...Isabella Huppert for "Elle"???
First off, who the fuck knew Paul Verhoeven made a drama? And why haven't I watched it.
See, this is the shit that is wrong with this business. The man that brought us "Total Recall" "Robocop" and "Showgirls" somehow slipped into the backdoor and bamboozled the gatekeepers. What is the problem you say? While others were distracted by Mel Gibson...this swooped in and dotted the eye of Hollywood. Awesome. Fuck these people. What this said was rewarding the cotton candy of "La La Land" meant dramatically we don't need to crown other White folk. Will any of us see "Moonlight", the movie that snagged it from the sure thing "Manchester By The Sea"...probably not. It's got homosexuality, disease and crack addiction. So, they won't win in box office. But then again...neither will "Birth Of A Nation" Nate Parker's diseased horse.
What an interesting year.
