Exactly how I feel about Moonlight. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Hacksaw Ridge. I was struck by its emotional power, how accurate its portrayal of PTSD was and Garfield's performance in the lead role.

Gibson knows how to make a film for sure, but he puts so much emphasis on faith and the power of religious belief that it brings an unnecessary ridiculousness to it. There is good cinema in it, but it ends up burried under preaching.

He's making films about people with strong religious beliefs. Doss is a real person with strong religious beliefs which was the point of the film. Mayans, we believe, were very religious people. Jesus... well... it's hard for me to say these should be less religious given the subject matter. If he was doing Kirk Cameron stuff, then yeah.

Preachy shit usually drives me insane as well, but like W said, Doss' faith drove him to be a conscientious objector, so I felt like the religious elements were fitting.

I know it's the subject, but subtelty is a quality that doesn't define Hacksaw Ridge much. I'm not even comparing to his other films, and as a matter of fact Apocalypto is a film I admire, but there is absolutely no subtlety, no reflection in his portrayal of faith in Hacksaw. It's not the fact it deals with faith that bothers me, faith is a strong subject matter in cinema. But the emphasis he shoves down our throats really bothers me.

On the bright side, they did nominate Viggo Mortensen's great performance in Captain Fantastic (still probably the year's best performance). I'd also say the film itself should have been in there over Deadpool for Best Picture (if The Martian could qualify as a comedy, this should have too).

On the other hand, I wish they had nominated Timothy Spall for Best Supporting Actor (of course, hardly anyone saw Denial and Ali will probably end up winning) and I have to wonder about the Finding Dory/The Secret Life of Pets snubs in Best Animated Feature.

Edge of Seventeen isn't surprising at all. Honestly I'm surprised that it didn't get more given how good the reviews were.

I'm disappointed "Arrival" didn't get noms for Best Picture and Best Director while Hacksaw Ridge did.

I know I haven't been paying as much attention this year, but that still seems like the most shocking batch of Globe nominees... I'm going to say ever.

The only ones I really expected were La La Land, Manchester, and Moonlight, but I figured Silence would be in the running, and it looks like Moonlight stole all the #OscarSoWhite votes that everyone expected to go to Birth Of A Nation before Nate Parker's personal history resurfaced, so it's now officially dead in the water. And a lot of high-profile, studio Oscar bait like Collateral Beauty and Fences got snubbed in favor of smaller films like Sing Street and Hell Or High Water. I wonder if there'll be a big discrepancy between the Globes and Oscars this year, because the studios are probably going to campaign extra hard now.

Sing Street likely appealed to the 80's nostalgia voters who love to think everything ended after 1989 (I bet had the film taken place in any other decade, it wouldn't have been made) and blames all their problems on people who weren't even alive then.

Silence and Fences I don't think were screened in time (and both are Paramount releases, who seems to be a constant state of flux right now).

The Birth of a Nation apparently just wasn't that good, even before the whole rape thing surfaced. Moonlight was simply a better film that had a better sell (funnily enough, it looked like for a while that A24 was hardly going to release it and instead focus all its awards hope on American Honey).

Collateral Beauty had no shot. The whole thing looks like Seven Pounds 2.
