In the award-winning category, yes there was the whole diversity issue with the Oscar nominees, not to mention a serious shortage of female leads in the nominated films. But, there were still some stellar movies including, “Brooklyn,” which did have a female lead and the best picture winner, “Spotlight,” which surprised a lot of people with its Oscar night victory.
This year also saw a new sassy Disney “not a” princess in “Moana,” and the adorable bunny cop movie, “Zootopia.”
Needless to say, the year has been a good year for fans of a good story on the big screen. Yes, there have been some lows, but for the most part we’ve been treated to some fantastic films. Here’s hoping that 2017 is just as entertaining.
…just for fun:
