Mad Max Thunder Road, Rogue One, bad movies that are somehow supposed to be incredible. If you see an overwhelming positive response, wait a while and look what others are saying about it, not paid reviewers.
How long do I have to wait for these negative audience responses? Rogue One has an 8.1 on IMDB and an audience rating of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. Mad Max: Fury Road also has an 8.1 on IMDB and an 86% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
I can't believe more people don't realize that. No publicity is bad publicity and this gets major buzz for a low rated Oscars.
Regardless of if Moonlight is a good movie or not....it's won for political reason.
Opinion is not fact. We will never know if this was staged but I don't think the Oscars needed more publicity esp negative publicity. The two people at Price Waterhouse have retained work at the company in a different office and will never work on the Oscars account again.
Nor do I think the chaos that ensued onstage could be planned an choreographed.
I tend to think not.
Lots of movies are political and they didn't win or get nominated. Not to say there isn't some truth in the subject matter being part of the attention for the film but that is sort of normal too. I suspect that any movie that was of some subject that persons xyz approved of wouldn't see that as an issue. In other words you wouldn't be thinking this if it was a movie that supported some opinion you have.

Last year's best picture was an example. "The Killing Fields" is another example. It happens quite often.

So, a good movie won and that's political? Should a bad movie have won?
Surely you aren't Neanderthal enough to believe that all awards are given to movies with white casts and that a movie with a predominantly Black cast could never ever be a true contender against a white cast.

If AMPAS still used the old voting system, I'm sure "The Revenant" would have won best picture last year and LLL would have won this year, but now they use a preferential ballot where they have to rank the picture nominees. The picture category is the only one that uses a preferential ballot, all other categories you only pick one film or performance from the list of nominees. When they had the old voting system picture and director wins usually went hand and hand, but since they introduced preferential ballot for best picture there have been splits between the the two categories lately such as:
Recent Picture/Director splits
2012: Argo/Life of Pi
2013: 12 Years a Slave/ Gravity
2015: Spotlight/The Revenant
2016: Moonlight/ La La Land

I've heard other people say this, that this movie is just propaganda to promote the gay agenda.
So if a film is about a person or people who are gay, it has an agenda.
But if a film is about a person or people who are straight, it doesn't have an agenda.
