Last weekend was crazy busy because that's when we celebrated Christmas with the McGee side of the family, and we had it at our house so we were very busy with cleaning and cooking on Saturday! We'd kept all of our Christmas decorations up (including our tree! It made it!), so then on Sunday we spent the day taking down all of our Christmas decorations and cleaning up from the party. We were quite exhausted by the end of the weekend!
A pic from our Christmas party! In the back row is Kevin's Dad, Kevin, me, Kevin's mom, Mook, and in front is Mo and Mook's boyfriend Ethan!
So, I don't know if you heard or if you care, but the Oscar nominations were announced! And every year Kevin and I try to watch all of the Best Picture nominations. I think we've only successfully seen them all once or twice, but we have fun every year trying! I think this is the first year where haven't seen ANY of the pictures on the Best Picture list by the time they're nominated, so we have a lot to try to watch this year! We'll see how far we get. Here's the list of nominees, and my thoughts before I've seen them:
-The Irishman: This one looks good, but I really wish it wasn't 3.5 hours long! That is a ridiculous length for a movie... If it was like 2 hours long, I'd be a LOT more excited to see it. I've heard it's amazing though, and the cast is definitely amazing, but 3.5 hours?! Crazy.
-Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: I've heard Brad Pitt is pretty much a lock for Best Supporting Actor for this, and I've heard it's good? I feel pretty neutral about this one right now - I'm not dreading seeing it, but I'm not super stoked either.
-1917: This looks amazing! So excited to see this one. I think we'll go see it at the movie theater maybe next week? I feel like this is one that should be seen on the big screen.
-Marriage Story: I'm not excited to see this one, because I think it's going to be a downer. I think it's mainly just about the 2 characters getting a divorce? I do love Adam Driver though, and he looks amazing in the trailers for this movie.
-Parasite: I've heard this is awesome and creepy and has subtitles, and that's really all I know! I'm pretty interested to see this one.
-Joker: I've heard this one is super dark and very rough and super violent, and I've heard that from people that even LIKE violent and dark movies... so I'm not feeling suuuuper excited to see this one, but hopefully it's great. The trailers all looked great, so who knows.
-Ford v Ferrari: This one looks fun! I am excited to see this one, and it seems like it'll just be pretty exciting and fun to watch.
-Jojo Rabbit: This one looks great! I'm very excited to see this one. The plot sounds craaaaazy too. I tend to love almost anything Taika Waititi does, so I'm kinda guessing I'm gonna love this one.
-Little Women: I'm soooooooooooo excited to see this! I love the version with Winona Ryder in it, and I'm so excited to see Greta Gerwig's version of it. It has some amazing actresses in it.
So, because it's snowing this weekend, we're gonna watch at least a few of those movies probably, and just have a nice fire going in our fireplace all weekend. We have some amazing food lined up for this weekend too for our hibernating! Tonight is going to be some roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans, and tomorrow is our homemade pasta with homemade alfredo sauce. Sooo excited for this weekend! I hope you all have a lovely weekend too!
