Zootopia is Still the Best Movie of 2016

The only category that really matters (Best Animated Movie) just went to Zootopia, which is probably the best movie I saw in all of 2016. Don't argue it, just accept that Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde should absolutely be the stars of True Detective's third season. I guess La La Land just won some relatively meaningless award and lost another, and my fellow Star Wars people are really upset that Rogue One lost to The Jungle Book. Considering that Rogue One might've been the second-best movie I saw in 2016, that just further confirms my belief that Zootopia was the pinnacle of cinema last year.

There's a Movie Called 'White Helmets' and It's on Netflix

In the latest tidal wave of tweets to rush in, every movie snob with a smartphone is finding a slightly different way to brag about watching something called White Helmets on Netflix. I'm not sure if it's about construction workers or condoms, but it sounds like it should be one of the two. Sure, I'll add it to my constantly expanding queue behind Black Mirror, The OA, everything Marvel puts on Netflix, and whatever else social media is telling me I need to watch but isn't as good as Stranger Things.

Actually, the kids from Stranger Things would probably make the Oscars a lot more enjoyable. And did they let Frank Ocean come to this since the Grammys refused to honor him? That seems like the least they could do.

If you're wondering, you can watch White Helmets on Netflix. #Oscars
