The Oscar Nominees Are In
The award show that comes once a year, where us movie nerds sit and see if our favorite films made the cut. Mine typically get best visual effects, some have gotten best picture nods but I still have enjoyed the five films I have seen that are currently nominated for best film. As we lead up to the event, I'll share my take on the films and I'll maybe let my husband (who likes the more artistic films) give his take. You can see quick takes of mine next to the films with nominations... that I have seen.
Below are the nominations!
