In 2017, you’re either a La La Land partisan or a Moonlight partisan. If you follow this blog, or really if you’ve been following it since October, you know which movie I favor, so you’re probably next to not at all surprised to hear that I stumped hard for Barry Jenkins’ extraordinary movie about ordinary life in Paste Magazine’s what will win/what should win Oscar round-up for this year’s ceremony. (I also wrote nice words for Maren Ade’s Toni Erdmann, Raoul Peck‘s I Am Not Your Negro, Isabelle Huppert’s performance in Elle, and Viola Davis’ performance in Fences.) You know what to do.
