WIRE PICKS

And the winner for Best Picture is…
“Deadpool”
The popular comedy was a serious favorite with the Wire staff. With its crude humor, modern superhero vibe and Ryan Reynolds, it’s a no brainer that we picked it as best picture.

And the winner for Best Actor is…
Ryan Gosling
It’s no secret that any movie with Ryan Gosling is a good one; with his humor, emotion and face, Gosling was a big hit this year. His biggest release of the year was his fun musical with Emma Stone, “La La Land” which led us to root for him for best actor. It’s pretty different from what he usually does, only proving his ability to make us laugh, cry and sing along.

And the winner for Best Actress is…
Emma Stone
Beloved actress Emma Stone is no stranger to the Oscars and we are no stranger to her skill. With classic movies like “Easy A,” “Crazy Stupid Love” and this year’s “La La Land,” Stone convinced us that she deserves that award. Just as “La La Land” helped toward Ryan Gosling’s “Best Actor” award, the musical showcased Stone in a way that we’ve never seen her before.

And the winner for Best Animated Feature is…
“Finding Dory”
Since most of us on staff are between the ages of 17 and 18, we were at the perfect age of either four or five when “Finding Nemo” came out. The belated sequel was such a blast to the past that it easily beat out some rabbit cop.
