MY FAVES FROM THE 2021 OSCARS

Unless you live with me, you don't know that I am obsessed with the Academy Awards. Every year, since 2018, I have made a list of all the nominees and my picks. On the night of the Oscars, I check off the Academy's pick and tally up how many of my picks were chosen. Um, I know I'm crazy, but I love film and the Oscars are a beautiful celebration of that, including set design, makeup & hairstyling, music, and costume design.

This year's Oscars were absolutely amazing (they premiered last Sunday). The line up of nominations was, probably, the best in a while (not that past years were terrible). I would hate to be a part of the Academy this year, because I didn't want to chose one. To not go to crazy into depth about every single category, I'll just talk about my top films/documentaries from this year's Oscars. Like, seriously, these movies are masterpieces, and if you can watch them, DO IT!
