The Oscars are coming this sunday night, and the folks at Screen Junkies are obviously ready... to make fun of them. Yes, the latest edition of Honest Trailers doesn't go after just one movie, it goes after nine of them, hitting all nine of the Best Picture nominees in one hilarious video.

In the video, Arrival is "the second movie about Amy Adams trying to relate to an alien no one gets along with," getting a dig in about Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice along the way. Lion is a movie everyone meant to see but didn't. Hell or High Water is "too entertaining to win anything." Hidden Figures "won't make white people too bad about themselves." Manchester by the Sea is basically a Casey Affleck biopic. Moonlight is checking off all the Oscar bait. Fences is an actor's dream. Hacksaw Ridge is a gorefest. And La La Land got too many nominations - seriously, "did nobody watch Sing Street" is right.

Watch the video for the full list of jokes - the alternate title for La La Land is too true to not laugh at, even if you loved the movie. The last minute and a half gives a little Donald Trump nod in there, as well, in honor of the fact that there will be some very political speeches given by actors on Sunday night.

The 2017 Academy Awards will air live on ABC at 7 Eastern, 4 Pacific Sunday, February 26. If you're looking for comic book movies in the ceremony, you only need to see Makeup and Hairstyling (Suicide Squad) and Visual Effects (Doctor Strange). Some other genre films got nominations, at least.
