My take
This kicks off a wonderful tradition. I'll watch the winner of the Best Pic Oscar from the previous year on the night before the Oscars. This time around I enjoyed the middle third even more than the first times I watched it. That incredible shift into full chase and where the romcom goes off the rails in an irredeemable way.
