Also, Revenant was a relatively mediocre film. La La Land was exceptional; after all, it received nominations in more categories than any film in the history of the Oscars. It's apples and oranges. With La La Land, we're looking at a film that has been acknowledged to have been among the best if not the best in more categories than we've ever seen. The sum total of that should be Best Picture, were it not for the concerted campaign amongst liberals--an objective fact, it's been all over social media--to make themselves feel bad for liking a film about white people in the time of Trump.
