Cinema is a difficult job that requires efforta huge number of people. Therefore, it is pointless to discuss all Oscar nominations, because it will be too long and tiring, it is better to focus on several main awards of this ceremony, which gave spectators and critics a lot of surprises.
Best movie
The most important award of the ceremony is the nominationthe best film "Oscar", which is awarded at the very end and which is most awaited by all spectators. It is worth noting that this year at the presentation a funny situation occurred: the presenter confused the envelopes and called the wrong film, announcing the winner. He himself says that he accidentally got a piece of paper, where it was written "La La Land", so he, a little embarrassed, just read what was written.
A minute later this trouble was fixed, leadingapologized and named the real winner - the film "Moonlight". The film crew of La La Land was slightly discouraged, but this did not spoil their mood, because the film had already become the leader in the number of figurines this year: in all, he received six awards in different nominations.
Speaking of the movie "Moonlight", you can notnote that the picture is very worthy in all respects, however, many viewers question the decision of academics, because La La Land was not just worthy, but incredibly good, and it seemed that no one could compete with it. One way or another, nothing can be changed, so we'll have to accept the fact that the "Oscar" gets exactly "Moonlight".
The film itself tells of the hard life of a black boy who grew up in a dysfunctional area of Miami. He is betrayed by friends, problems in the family, but the most difficult test is the acceptance of oneself.
Best Director

The plot of the film describes the novel of a fanatical jazz musician and frivolous novice actress, who repeatedly goes on unsuccessful interviews in the hope of getting a role and becoming famous.
The picture in the genre of the musical was removed, which wasquite a risky step, because the era of musicals has long passed, and the director has taken on a huge responsibility for the success of this film. Nevertheless, all expectations were justified, the tape turned out to be so successful that it was hardly possible to find at least one spectator who left the cinema without feeling easy, cheerful and enthusiastic.
