It's the most wonderful time of the year Every year, I make it my JOB to watch all Academy Award nominated films for Best Picture, as well as all the films that have nominated actor/actress & supporting actor/actress...
This year, being back in LA (doing this in Portland was tough!), I've already done a pretty good job. Here is my list, and below ratings, and eventually some thoughts on each film. (I will update as I go.)
- The Revenant ✔️
- Joy ✔️
- Room
- Spotlight
- The Danish Girl
- Brooklyn ✔️
- Trumbo ✔️
- 45 years
- Ex Machina
- Creed
- Steve Jobs ✔️
- Carol ✔️
- Mad Max ✔️
- Bridge of Spies ✔️
- The Martian ✔️
- The Big Short ✔️
- The Hateful Eight... It's over 3 hours...Do I have to? I may have to forego this one. In my defense, I started watching the first 5 minutes...and really could not go beyond the 3 minute long opening where all you could see was snow and more snow...
Others:
- Star Wars ( I did NOT see if yet, don't judge me)
- Inside Out
- Straight out of Compton ✔️
- Sicario ✔️
One I really don't want to see:
