The other movies (gay black men and strong independent black womyn doing doing space stuff) are fairly baity too.

They're really not. For one thing, I think the Oscar bait themes have changed a little bit, and La La Land is way closer to the recent model than any of the other movies. For another thing, Moonlight isn't Oscar bait, it's an artsy independent. There's a difference - often there's also some overlap but still, there's a difference. And Hidden Figures is kind of an Oscar bait thing but it's also fairly populist and non-Weinsteiny.

The most obviously Oscar-bait-y movie besides La La Land is honestly probably Fences, and even then, it's more of an actor/actress thing than a Best Picture thing.

Considering how Oscars have been catering to black actors and black themes in the past few years (and at the expense of other minorities too)?

okay maybe this is just me being over sensitive but...regarding Moonlight, I've seen a bunch of people saying something similar, that because Moonlight's about a gay black man that means it's meant to be "Oscar Bait!!!!" And the implication that people only make movies like Moonlight, movies about PoC and/or LGBT+ people, to get awards, kind of rubs me the wrong way.

It rubs me the wrong way too.

Not all the time. But in light of the #Oscarssowhite shenanigans? Absolutely.
