The Ithacan

Jake Leary and returning guest Liza Gillespie attempt to achieve emotional peace by ranting about this year’s Academy Awards.

“having worked in the broadcast industry for over a decade, I knew firsthand what it was like for women to be behind the scenes,” Guest said.

“Moonlight,” featuring Ithaca College student Jharrel Jerome, won Best Picture at the Oscars.

The racially diverse films recognized by the Academy also reveal a problem with how mainstream America consumes films about race.

Garth Davis excels in ways that shouldn’t look so easy: His world is appropriately naturalistic and his story smoothly balances its emotional heft.

In this special video edition of Deja View, Assistant Life & Culture Editor Jake Leary sits down with Assistant Multimedia Editor, Connor Duffy, Opinion Editor Celisa Calacal and Proofreader Tyler Obrapta to discuss the 2017 Academy Awards.

“Moonlight” is not only important for the black and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities, but for everyone.

Directed by Clint Eastwood, “American Sniper” proved a one-dimensional and disappointing film.

The movie “Selma” demonstrates that today’s activists deserve the same respect and consideration we now give the Civil Rights Movement.
