3 DOT POP: 2017 Oscars picks and problems

SOPHIA COOK

The Oscars aren’t as white as they were last year … so I guess that counts for something..?

Congrats, Academy, you got so much backlash from last year’s nominees and winners that you’ve finally started at least diversifying your pick of the crop for this year’s awards. It’s a step in the right direction. I mean heck, you even threw in Dev Patel – you clearly deserve a cookie. And second of all how dare The Academy pit Queen Octavia Spencer against Queen Viola Davis against each other. You should be ashamed…

New drinking game: take a shot every time La La Land wins an award. You’re guaranteed a good time. I think they do deserve at least some of the awards they’re nominated for and you don’t need me to tell you why. I’m sure everyone and their mother has been telling you how it’s “their favorite musical” even though the closest thing they’ve seen to a musical is of the high school denomination…

Moana was good, I really liked it, and I hope it’ll get an award. But there’s always that one category where another foreign or underground movie with rise from the ashes and win out of nowhere and for some reason I have a inkling that it’ll be the animated category this year…

Tell me why Jimmy  Kimmel is hosting this year? I don’t know if I’m going to be able to sit through his dry jokes about Trump. I’m over it. Give me Leslie Jones, Keenan Thompson – literally anyone. Enough of these late night TV hosts…  

Is Leo gonna be there? Is he nominated? No? Give him something, anyway. Y’all deprived him for so long. It’s the least you can do…
