Earlier, one voter called Meryl Streep's "Florence Foster Jenkins" performance "like a clown." Now, a second voter has come forward to The Hollywood Reporter with his or her ballot choices.
For Best Picture, the voter "just loved 'Moonlight,'" and said director Barry Jenkins "is really a poet." And unlike the first voter, this one thought "Arrival" was "terrific."
In the acting categories, Voter No. 2 didn't think much of "La La Land" stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, calling the former's performance not Oscar-worthy and criticizing the latter's singing and dancing. "She's not Cyd Charisse or Debbie Reynolds, you know?"
The voter also did not believe Mel Gibson deserving of a nomination for directing "Hacksaw Ridge." "IHe's a talented director, but he wasn't worthy of a nomination for this movie," he or she said, adding, "And I say that totally apart from my personal feelings about him, which aren't supposed to factor in here — although he certainly harbors some prejudices that I don't like and I wouldn't want to have him over for dinner or to marry my daughter."
The Oscars air this Sunday, Feb. 26 on ABC. Here's the full list of nominations.
