Glad you mentioned The Handmaiden, I thought it was going to go mentionless through the video. I do wonder that if it came out now, given how Parasite has (hopefully) opened the door for more recognition for foreign language films (and especially Korean film) would it have gotten more nominations. Easily one of my favourites of the year and I think it could've gotten a whole bunch, like the cinematography is absolutely stunning. When you go through the movies that didn't even get nominated (considering how many great movies were included in the nominations) it gives you an idea for how strong of a year 2016 was.

Hats off dude. I loved this video, it‘s so, so good. Especially the Moonlight vs. La La Land part. You have a bright future in this industry - in whatever shape or form. Just keep it up

I absolutely adored La La Land and I thought at the time when I saw it in theaters it had Best Picture in the bag. From the spectacular filmmaking with the musical numbers, fantastic performances that make you sympathize with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, memorable soundtrack and it’s still to this day one of the best musicals I’ve ever seen if not the best. Moonlight is an excellent and moving coming of age drama. From how Barry Jenkins did an amazing job with the storytelling and fantastic performances from the cast. I would’ve been very satisfied had La La Land won and that’s my favorite film of 2016. But I can’t deny how special it was for a movie like Moonlight to win. Given that it was an independent film that was getting so much hype as well as the first LGBT film with an all black cast to win a year after the Oscars So White controversy. I think it’s a good lineup of nominees and Hacksaw Ridge, Arrival and Hell or High Water were some of my favorites in that lineup.

Moonlight is one of the “best” Best Picture winners at the Oscar’s and in my opinion, a masterpiece. Video idea: Tier list of best picture winners of the 21st century

Excellent analysis on La La Land vs Moonlight awards momentum and stats. Your commercial was hilarious by the way! I hope you do a look back of the 2018 Oscars - that was a beautiful do over for Kimmel, Beatty, and Dunaway, and The Shape of Water was a deserved and perfect Best Picture winner for its time!

While I certainly think that La La Land is better, Moonlight is still very good. Happy that Chazelle got Director.

2016 is one of those really great movie years!

Glad to see these back! Always love watching breakdowns of last years in one place!

The aesthetic awareness in the promo though... top notch

“What color do you look like in the moonlight?” Is one of your finest outros, and that’s saying a lot

I'm so happy that Moonlight won Best Picture and if Viola Davis wasn't nominated for best supporting actress for Fences ,I think that Naomie Harris would had won the Oscar for Moonlight for supporting actress or Michelle Williams for Manchester by the sea

La La Land And Moonlight are masterpieces, but Arrival deserved more Awards too!.

The Moonlight win is still my favorite Oscar moment ever. And probably gonna stay that way forever for me. Great video, love the retrospectives.

Finally a retrospective, please do more!

Still, The Handmaiden (2016) is the biggest Foreign Film blunder. South Korea shat the bed more than France with not nominating Portrait of a Lady on Fire. The Handmaiden could have (and should have won), it won BAFTA. (though pan's labyrinth not winning is also up there).

Funny. For me, it was actually my first year following awards season, I still get nostalgic whenever I think about that year.

Honestly, I was really glad Fantastic Beasts won Best Costume Design. It was very deserving considering it's creativity at merging 1920s fashion with Wizardry. It was also time that Harry Potter got an Oscar win.

Hell or High Water has no right being as good as it is

Ok actually La La Land premiered in competition at Venice and won Best Actress before going to TIFF.

I honestly think that even if Trump wasn't elected that Moonlight still would've won. Big movies like La La Land get fatigued all the time. Think about this year even. From the Golden Globes until right before the Oscars, we all assumed Power of the Dog was just gonna be another Nomadland and win everything. Sure some people looked elsewhere to CODA or Belfast or King Richard, but Power of the Dog was very far out in Picture until BAFTA maybe. Of course it's also worth mentioning that Russia's invasion of Ukraine and fear of nuclear war definitely contributed to CODA's win, but it's still possible that it or maybe something else could've eked out a victory at the end of the day just because people were tired of Power of the Dog. Same with La La Land and Moonlight. And La La Land DID win everything. There was no upset at PGA or DGA or BAFTA or anywhere else. The only place where Moonlight had a victory in direct competition in the lead-up was WGA, and that was a bit of a technicality. When it all comes down to it, La La Land and Moonlight were essentially equally loved, but Moonlight is the film that was more moving to people. It does have to do with Trump's election, but it's also no coincidence that this was the year after the Academy started to actually diversify their membership. Even in the first year of them doing it, there was a huge impact. 7/20 acting nominees were people of color, and that was the record until the 2021 ceremony which had 9/20. Four of the Best Picture nominees featured people of color at the center of their films. Obviously this is a good thing, but it's still important to see that this was a factor. And even without Trump's election, keep it real there are a lot of people in the Academy who are Trump supporters, or at least conservative enough to vote for him over Hillary. I don't think the nominees or winners would be changed that much if Hillary were elected. In short, Moonlight won mainly because the members of the Academy loved it more than they loved La La Land (it's also the better film but that's a different conversation). And thank you for mentioning The Handmaiden, that would've been my choice for Best Picture and it should've gotten like 13 nominations.

Straight Outta Compton did get a Screenplay nomination

Couple Thoughts 1 Taraji P Henson should’ve been nominated for best actress for hidden figures 2 Michael Keaton should’ve been nominated for lead actor for the founder

I remember how badly the anti-La La Land hate was getting with the sociopolitical climate from the 2016 election not helping anything. I really feel this Oscars was the start of people basically starting to root for movies like they were their favorite sports teams and hating on the the rivals.

It'll be interesting to see what movie they submit this year, since they have two potential contenders in Decision to Leave/Broker. They probably aren't keen on nominating either, with the alleged PCW blacklist and anti-Japan sentiments in Korea, so we might see a completely random nomination again. :(
