Review of Hidden Figures (2016) by Nononomore — 03 Feb 2017

Does this deserve a Best Picture nomination, Best Supporting Actress nomination? No. Did it get one by affirmative action? Undoubtedly yes. Yet it is a good true story and well made and is the same kind of popular entertainment that has a good message but was not a huge sensational blockbuster (those often get overlooked by the sheep at The Academy) like such past hit nominees that didn't deserve it "The Help", "Seabiscuit", "The Cider House Rules", "Awakenings", "Dead Poets Society" etc.
