2017 Movie and Music Awards

Last year was probably the least amount of movies I've seen in a long time, partly because of my lack of time and partly because of my lack of interest.  There are a couple I still want to see (Lady Bird) but for the most part I've seen what I'll see.  Since the Oscars are tonight, here's my picks for the best (and worst) of last year.
