It’s been a less than a thrilling year for American films, and, barring a few surprises (congratulations, Isabelle Huppert), the nominations reflected this. Here’s our take on the 2017 Oscar line-up. It will save the awards the bad press, but don’t forget that nominations are reflective of a larger malaise. There have been attempts by the press to turn this year into La La Land vs Moonlight, but no one’s buying it. La La Land is an extremely winning film and, more importantly, makes Hollywood feel good about itself.
