Something like that:)

Warcraft,
Cap' America
Star Trek
Fantastic Beast
Deepwater Horizon

I was only on Deepwater Horizon for a month or so, but the work that my colleagues did was outstanding and deserves more recognition.
I think Rogue One will get it though. There was a lot of long faces when Episode 7 didn't get it last year.  I was torn, as while I worked on Ep 7,  the main nominee on Ex Machina was a friend of mine. In any case, I think the Academy will make up for it this year and award it to Rogue One.

This is rather good

LucasFilm Executive team is now more than 50% female:

Kathleen Kennedy, who is now probably one of the most powerful execs in Hollywood, has been very influential in promoting women in Hollywood and was (probably) also the main reason that Episode 7 had a female lead.
She told us in one of the earlier screening that she wanted to make Star Wars appeal to both genders..and while that was probably partly driven by $$$, she clearly also wants to get rid of male dominance in Hollywood.

She's also one of the most approachable execs I've ever met/worked for. I emailed her on the same subject and much to my surprise she took her time to reply.

In a similar vein, although I think everyone's seen this, I think this just takes things to a new level.

Netflix breathlessly informs me that they have just added: "Spectral: When an otherworldly force wreaks havoc on a war-torn European city, an engineer teams up with an elite Special Ops unit to stop it."

Jesus wept.

It's going to be my post-pub viewing this evening too. What's not to like?

On the strength of that ^^^ I watched the first half-hour just to see.  I think about 5 pints would make it watchable all the way through.

Unfortunately I fell asleep about five minutes in. Well, it was post-beer. I'll have to try again. To be honest, any movie that features in the post-beer slot is likely doomed to snoozedom.

Knock off the "un-" and the first sentence fairly encapsulates the viewing experience. Alas, lacking soporifics, I endured a while longer.

Because I was watching the winner (no spoilers) perform it as I typed that?

So, apparently Justin Bieber joins various local (amateur) pick-up hockey teams and also does the same when he's on tour?
Here's a sensational headline that doesn't deliver, but it's still pretty cool regardless:

OMFG the latest ABC offering ("The Christmas We Deserve") which is inexplicably getting airplay on R2 is absolutely woeful...
