Matt's pick for the Best Picture that year. Unique, fun, and phenomenal.

This came up while debating whether Arrival should have won Best Picture. The 89th Academy Awards had a strong field, including Arrival, Hacksaw Ridge, Moonlight, Manchester by the Sea, and Lion. Matt thinks La La Land should have won. It felt unlike anything we'd had in a long time, and it tells a fun, interesting story about trying to make it big in Hollywood.
