When was the last time that a movie was tipped to sweep actually swept?

Not sure what one other change I'd most like to make...Jenkins for Director, Anyone but Affleck for Best Actor, The Lobster for Original Screenplay or Moana for Best Song

"The Oscar-winning film Suicide Squad..."

That's a real phrase. A real, valid phrase.

I have no problem with bad movies getting technical awards (I am looking at you, Silence), but this one was undeserved.

Hmmm, so the final tally for Toni Erdmann turned out to be:

1. It lost to I, Daniel Blake at Cannes, which the critics' cabal practically dubbed a crime against humanity, or at least a sign of how out of touch the Cannes jury was, but then ...

2. It lost to Elle at the Golden Globes ...

3. It lost to Son of Saul at the BAFTAs and ...

4. It lost to The Salesman at the Oscars.

It even lost to I, Daniel Blake again at the Césars.

I have no problem with all of that, except for Daniel Blake. That's just ridiculous - except that there were other, better movies, that should have one instead.

I am awful at these. Just plain awful. As in, disastrously so.
