I see everything and I actually thought the best pictures of the year were The Diary of a Teenage Girl and Testament of Youth, but they didn't even come close to getting nominated. Of those that were nominated? The Big Short was the most original and well done of all the films. It told a very complex story so well that I wanted to see it again and did. Bridge of Spies was a very well done, traditional film, although rather predictable.

Brooklyn was a really glossed-over, Hollywood-ized, romantic version of immigration — they should have screened [Elia] Kazan's America America to see what immigration was really like in the fifties. Believe me, you didn't come over in a room shared with one other person, you came over in steerage with 60 people and two bathrooms, and the reason everybody was up on top of the deck was because every smelled down below; and when you arrived you didn't live in a nice boarding house with a lovely landlady cooking delicious meals for you, you lived in tenement housing, three or four to a room. They didn't study the period and it pissed me off.
