I was so pleased to see WSS win some awards at the Golden Globes. Best comedy or musical, best actress and best supporting actress. All very well deserved in my opinion.
I do think it may be the crime of the century that Mike Faist was not even nominated for his performance as Riff, though. Of everyone in the cast he blew me away most of all.
It's been weeks since I saw this and I've been thinking about it ever since. I went from thinkint a remake/reimagining couldn't possibly top the original 1961 film to being just so impressed with everything about what Spielberg has done with his version. It was all so well realised and on point. It was making me really angry when the press were crowing about it flopping because it's such a gorgeous and intelligent film.
