In reply to Marianne Lonsdale. I hoped it would win too! I didn't think it was such a good year for movies, but looking back, I see that there were a lot of good ones.

In reply to wendyj59.

My personal favorite was “Manchester by the Sea,” but I’m really glad “Moonlight” won. I grew up in Massachusetts, so the accents and seaside villages are in my bones in a way that gave me an unconscious bias for “Manchester.” “La La Land” is a pleasant diversion, but frankly I don’t understand all the hype.

Thank you, Lorrie. I love being able to hear your voice through your blog, even from far away. Your collected composure, and your wisdom are very encouraging and much needed and appreciated.

Haven’t seen any of them but my son & DIL have seen them all and she recommended Manchester by the Sea. I trust her judgement. (She did also like la la land for an easier watch)

I was cheering for Moonlight. And I still choke up every time I think of the last scene, that young boy, still with hopes, looking back from the ocean. Loved it. Saw it twice which I never do. Liked the other contenders too.
