2015 Oscar Reactions

2015 Oscar Reactions

Well another year down. I legitimately enjoyed most of the Oscars this year. They did a pretty good job and got some categories right...but of course they also got some wrong. This post I'm just going to ramble about what I liked and didn't like about the 2015 Oscars. So let's get started!

2014 Oscar Predictions

Oscar Predictions

In here I'll go through the oscar nominations and select which one I think will win. I've seen almost everything, but I haven't seen quite everything for the performances, so part of the selection is just word of mouth and what I've read on them. This post also includes what I like to call my "Pretty Please" list. Every year I like to make two lists, my actual Oscar predictions and a list for what I want to win. Often times, they aren't remotely similar, which is a little saddening, but what are you going to do. So this list is both my actual predictions and the Pretty Please list.

Oscars in Review-1998 Best Actor

Oscars in Review-1998 Best Actor

In this post I will review the Academy's pick for Best Actor for 1998. 1998 is one of the Oscar's worst years it has ever had, they just seemed to get everything wrong that year. Usually in these posts I focus on the winner and the one that I thought should win, this time I will look at a few others who were nominated as well (sorry Nick Nolte you are the only one left out). I will briefly look at the performances before sharing my thoughts on why Roberto Benigni won.

Oscars in Review-1995 Braveheart vs. Apollo 13

In 1995, Braveheart beat Apollo 13 on Oscars night. In this post I will review the academy's Best Picture Oscar winner, and Apollo 13. This will be an attempt to shed some light on why Braveheart might have won over what I consider to be the superior film. The Basic plot and themes will be listed below.

Top 10 Favorite Best Actor Oscar Winners of All Time

Top 10 Favorite Best Actor Oscar Winners

When reading this post keep in mind that these are my personal favorite Best Actor Oscar Winners, not necessarily the best. If it were a best list it would probably be a little different. Also I haven't quite seen all movies to which the academy gave a Best Actor award, for instance, I haven't seen On the Waterfront. So Marlon Brando from that movie will not be on here. Anyway these are my favorite, if you have some favorites that I missed or needed let me know.

The basic plot and themes will be listed with their respected film.
