every year about this time, the people voting for the oscars get copies of the movies sent out to them... usually a dozen or so leak at the same time, this year only a few leaked out on the internet...
we got
patriots day about the boston marathon bombing... with mark wahlberg

very hard to stand that guy, i had to turn it off after 20 minutes... there's some great actors in the movie - kevin bacon, jk simmons and a, almost didnt recognize, thinner john goodman... but that doesnt help when mark wahlberg gets 90% of the screen time...
then we got
hidden figures, some bullshit about 3 black women providing the maths (!) for nasa... in short - if it wasnt for these 3 black women nasa wouldnt be shit, or so were suppose to believe. starring 3 black women you never heard of.
then
lala land is out, not sure if its an oscar leak... suppose to be great but hey its among other things a MUSICAL... not sure even getbig is gay enough for that.
and last but not least
fences... "A working-class African-American father tries to raise his family in the 1950s" jesus... guess who's starring in that shit? you guessed it? viola davis and denzel...
