Lol..it wasn't a mess of a film

but whatever its okay to be different.

Sowwy, Kaz.

Ev-wee-won is entitled to their opinion.

It just didn't work for me.

It's weird because the first few years that I really followed the Oscars pretty closely were the years that 12 Years A Slave, Birdman, and Spotlight won. So I got the (false) impression that a winner should be a pretty flawlessly crafted, solidly compelling film. And I guess sometimes the winners are, like The Shape of Water, Green Book, and Parasite (as some of the recent ones), but sometimes they come out of left field and just don't work for me. Moonlight was another one that didn't work for me at all. It really had no plot whatsoever.

I do give EEAAO some credit for trying something a little different and being experimental, but it really just comes across as a mockery/spoof of better sci-fi.

EEAAO is basically a Rick and Morty movie but without the nihilism.

I liked the message, but found the "lol random" humor completely obnoxious. It was fine for the first part but over two hours of that shit is too much.

^ Right, exactly.

Which is why a Best Picture win is bonkers to me.
