I haven't seen this yet, but 'be read about it and it looks pretty incredible. I'm kind of steeling myself to watch it because I hear it's quite heartbreaking, and I'm not in a great place for depressing stuff right now. But from what I can tell, it's the most artistically nature film among the nominees. Also, it's doubly relevant to the current social environment.
I'm rooting for either this or Arrival (it's high time Oscar gives props to an intelligent science fiction film, after shutting out ... let's see... Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, and Dark Knight among many MANY others.)
But I'm sure La La Land or Manchester by the Sea will win. I love Ryan Gosling, but he's a sturdy and ambitious actor, like Christian Bale... he'll win for something some day. I'd rather it not be for a fucking musical.
(Note that I haven't seen ANY of the nominated films.)
