89th Academy Awards ("Moonlight" wins Best Picture)

[jabbercash]

This is pretty early, but I thought maybe we could get a head-start on discussion for next Academy Awards. I made this thread last year, so I might as well do it again. I think that the #oscarssowhite controversy really made an impact, and we'll definitely see some more actors of color nominated next year. We have some heavyweight directors like Martin Scorsese, Ang Lee, and Woody Allen in the mix, so it should be interesting to see how the race turns out. So, let's get it started!
