I personally don't think she will win. Not that it wouldn't be deserved, but her and Diane have been gunning so hard for it especially with the discourse on rape. It might be too obvious a choice and thus they'll throw a curveball and give it to Youth, which is also deserving imo.

They haven't been discussing rape in order to win an oscar, get a reality check.

The Oscars are all about campaigning. The Academy even invites the cast of each movie to have a discussion about the movie with the members there. They even upload these conversations on their official YouTube channel.

The real winner is the one that manages to convince the Academy members that their piece of work is the most deserving one to win.

This actually would have been a huge possibility if it was any other song. Thankfully the Academy will never award anything that is related to the critically panned Fifty Shades of Grey, so we're good :koons:

But they nominated the song though :green:

though I'm not sure how The Weeknd's team is going to convince the Academy that their song deserves to win. Like what meaning lies behind the song? Sex? Love? Affection?

I actually really like this. Meeting in person to discuss the project being nominated is a great way to gain more perspective on the project. Film especially can be a complex medium and there can be a lot of subtleties to explore. Music as well. Discussing it with the voters is great way for them to ask questions and examine if the artist or director were being true to their vision (or intent) or just creating a superficial fluff piece to gain acclaim. 

Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax."
