Deakins! I have to say, I do approve the splitting of the technical awards between Blade Runner: 2049 and Dunkirk.

I'm actually shocked that this was Van Hoytema's first nomination. I'd have guessed he was at 4 or 5 by now.

Could you imagine being the sort of person to whom a song like this speaks to? My lord, how trite can something be

Wait, this song is the highlight of a film that got its own sing-along version? Bizzare. It's terrible.

Yeah but still and all, I've had people who I would've expected to hate it say that The Greatest Showman is actually good. I just can't bring myself to go see it, though.

I love how Mary J. Bilge wanted to stay seated until she realised the camera was on her and forced her to get to her feet.

COCO and DEAR BASKETBALL winning are proof that these idiots don't even bother to watch most of what's nominated. It's absolutely pathetic

The Greatest Showman seems like the most Baz Luhrmann movie that isn’t actually made by Baz Luhrmann.

I really hope it doesn't win so I don't feel any obligation to watch it in this life.
