I said the most politically correct film would win. A movie about the Green Book just HAD to win over an entertaining, beautifully done biopic about a beloved singer and rock group,

Did you actually see "The Green Book"? If you consider it PC because it was about a black musician touring the South in the 1950s, you are sadly mistaken. Having traveled through the South in 1968, I didn't find much that the movie was a "whitewash" of how people lived and acted down there.

If anything, "Bohemian Rhapsody" was more PC, given the poor tragic gay singer who contracts AIDS as the lead, even if the story doesn't focus on that part of his life. Can't say for sure, I never saw the movie, as I was never a "Queen" fan.
