What a brilliant woman, so long denied recognition, gets a resounding applause from the attendees. Finally.

Nothing against the other nominees, but I was very disappointed that Hidden Figures didn't win Best Picture.

PEACE!

It was a real inspiration. Made you feel like there still are things about this country that make you proud.

is so proud of her fellow West Virginian!

So often we are denigrated as shoeless, illiterate hillbilly coal miners, uneducated and unaware. Katherine Johnson made us proud. I only wish we had known about her story fifty years ago!

I wanted to go when it first came out but we didn't have an opportunity until yesterday afternoon. What an inspiring movie! I made it through without crying but when they honored each woman at the end with their real photos, I couldn't hold it any longer.
