The Oscars!

The Oscars are tonight!  I'm excited.  We just finished watching the last of the Best Picture nominees that we're going to watch (we watched all but one!), and I really loved a lot of the movies this year!  Two of them I did not enjoy, but for very different reasons. I'll give you my thoughts on each movie!

1.  BlacKkKlansman - I really loved this movie.  I definitely would be happy if this got Best Picture, but this one isn't MY pick for Best Picture.  It also isn't the one that I think will get it.  This one dealt with some very difficult subject matter, but it was SO well done, and there were funny parts and serious parts, and it was just great.  There were also LOTS of parallels throughout the movie between what was happening during that time period and what is happening now, and juuuust in case the viewer wasn't understanding the parallels, they really put it right in your face at the end of the movie, which I thought was amazing.  I loved this movie.  I am pulling for Adam Driver as Best Supporting Actor!  He's an awesome actor.

2.  Black Panther - I thought this movie was VERY enjoyable, and I think it's very awesome that a Marvel movie was finally nominated, but this definitely isn't my pick for Best Picture.  Fun movie though!  And I think it's nominated for Best Costumes and Best Production Design, so I hope it wins for those categories.  Everything looked beautiful in this movie.

3. Bohemian Rhapsody - I loooooved this movie!!  I'm kinda hoping this wins, but I don't think it will. And I DEFINITELY think Rami Malek needs to win for Best Actor!  He was awesome.  Really great movie.  It made me laugh, it made me cry, it was just really great. 

4.  The Favourite - We did not see this one!  It was kinda our last priority, and we ran out of time.  It doesn't look great to me, but I'll probably watch it sometime.

5.  Green Book - Oh my goodness, loved this movie so much.  I loved Viggo Mortensen in it and also Mahershala Ali. This was SO well done, and I really loved it.  This is my pick for Best Picture!!  I really hope it wins.  I think it has a good shot!  Everyone should see this movie - It's SO good.  Loved it, loved it, loved it. 

6.  Roma - This one was great!!  It really surprised me how much I liked this one.  I'd seen a few different trailers for it, and I couldn't get a good feel for it.  I'd heard from multiple people that it was awesome, but I just wasn't sure if I was going to like it.  But, I definitely did!!  I thought it was great, and this is the one that I think will win.  It isn't MY pick, but I think it'll win, and I'll be happy if it does win.  I also think this will win for Best Director!  It's a Netflix movie, so it's an easy one to watch!

7.  A Star is Born - I didn't like this one at all.  Like, not even a little bit.  I know this is like the 4th or 5th remake of this one, but I just didn't enjoy it.  And, I truly can't believe that Lady Gaga is nominated for Best Actress.  Her acting was NOT good for the most part.  She had a few scenes that she did a great job in, but for most of it I was like, "Oh my gosh... this is terrible".  Bradley Cooper did a good job though, and so did Sam Elliott. But I'm not rooting for either one of them.

8. Vice - I didn't like this one either.  I think it was REALLY well done and everyone involved (acting, directing, etc) did a great job, but OH MY GOSH this movie made me so upset, angry, stressed, and sad.  I had a feeling that's how I was going to feel watching this one, so I wasn't excited to see it.  So, I think they did a great job with this one, but I just really didn't enjoy it one bit.
