I didn't see many of this year's nominees but would put Westside Story right up there too . . . probably out of nostalgia. My parents were big into musicals when I was a kid and the WSS "soundtrack" was constantly in the air back then. I'm still amazed that Bernstein did the music. What an amazing and wide ranging talent he was!

Watched Belfast last night... GREAT music... - musetap 00:14:03 03/25/22 (0)
Really fine acting (beats even POTD), the B&W is refreshing though the story is rather formulaic.

That The Belfast Cowboy serves as the soundtrack is a delight.

The best thing about WSS is STILL the music, the new versions are sharp and
(honestly) swinging. The rest of it we found humdrum and we actually fell
asleep after an hour.

Might try and finish it but we know how it ends...
