#Oscars - At Oscars 2017, Miami native and film director Barry Jenkins seeks to make history, but past year's tsunami of critical praise for his Miami-based film #Moonlight makes it clear he'll be a leading Hollywood "name" and voice for originality for decades to come
Meanwhile, after months of critical praise for #LaLaLand -my favorite film in MANY years- that netted Damien Chazelle's ode to people dreaming of success in LA's hyper-competitive creative Biz 14 nominations, some people wonder if a backlash has emerged against it, esp. in big categories.
But then why would you punish someone for success that comes from it resonating with people all over the world? What's the point of THAT?

Good advice!
