Alternative Oscars: The Nominees & Winners For Every Category
1. Best Picture
WINNER: Arrival
Arrival is a challenging, whip-smart, visually stunning, emotionally devastating, beautifully acted and thought provoking sci-fi film with a message of enormous relevance for the modern world (especially in light of recent political events).
It manages to ground an inherently heightened scenario and present with audience with a fascinating series of questions while entertaining as it also prods and informs.
It's a difficult juggling act but director Denis Villeneuve continues to prove himself one of the best directors working today, and the cast is consistently fantastic.
