Can't decide whether I think LMM should've won the Oscar the year he was nommd.

But give Sondheim his EGOT!

Not a LMM fan by any stretch of the imagination but I would say yes to this because Moana is incredible and La La Land was super overhyped and the music wasn't that great tbqh

I think so, La La Land should've been disqualified from the nomination pool the moment they had John Legend perform the nominated songs instead of the actors who performed them in the movie. There was no reason Emma and Ryan couldn't have been up there.
And I just really like "How far I'll go", Auli'i smashed it on that stage.

Ryan can't sing and Emma is limited.I want to be entertained. It's not uncommon to have someone else sing a song. Queen Latifah filled in for Renee zellweger because she was to nervous,or Kristen chenoweth performed instead of any Adams for the big number. The most unusual was 1985 where you had Stevie Wonder , Phil Collins and Kenney logins all nominated with their hit sons, but the producer had other people perform them. Diana ross, for stevie,debbie Allen for "Footloose" and a woman who was a better dancer then singer for "Against all odds"

Wow... that is weird.

In the case of La La Land we would've been entertained if they had better singers in those roles and then have them perform. I know the performance can't effect the votes but Idk, it feels weird to want to win for a song but then not perform it like the version that is nominated.

Like just make sure you and your actors are on the same page that in case things go well and you get nominations they are ready to perform that song. If Russel Crowe can go on that Oscar stage and sing, everybody can.

Though I have to admit Move On with Queen Latifah is awesome and so is that Footloose performance.

If Russel Crow can go on that Oscar stage a sing, everybody can

Now we know Russell Crowe has delusions of grandeur . The things I could do if I had an ounce of his self esteem.
