Overall Opinion of the Oscar Winners

I swear that this will be the last post I make about the Oscars. With the Oscars happening this past Sunday, there were plenty of surprises, outrage, and celebration over the winners. I was pleasantly surprised with some of the winners, for example Olivia Colman. I for sure thought that Glenn Close would win for Best Actress because she had won all of the other awards leading up to the Oscars. In my opinion, it was the biggest upset of the night. Watching Colman give her speech was awesome. She was so real and authentic up on the stage and it has made me want to see The Favourite even more than I already had before. I was happy to see Black Panther get a lot of love at the Oscars from Best Costume Design to Original Score and Best Production Design. The speeches for the women behind the costume design and production of Black Panther were captivating. It was simplistic and packed a punch and that is something that an Oscar speech should be. I was happy to see the song "Shallow" win from A Star is Born. That performance was packed with so much emotion and let's be honest, it got hot in that room for sure. I was surprised that Blackkklansmen won Adapted Screenplay. I am happy for Spike Lee though because he is an excellent filmmaker and I will definitely be seeing this movie in the future. I was happy with all the love that Roma got from the Oscars and Alfonso Cuaron deserved his awards for Director and Cinematographer for sure. It should have won Best Picture but that was for the Academy to decide.
There were plenty of surprises from the Oscars as well. I am shocked that Green Book won Best Picture because it feels something that the Academy doesn't normally pick. Good for them, I guess. I am surprised with how many awards Bohemian Rhapsody won with all the controversy surrounding the film. I am sad that A Quiet Place did not win Sound Editing because I truly feel that the sound editing in that film is insane.

Overall, the Oscars seemed to do well without a host and the favorites won their respective awards. Who do you feel should've won Oscars? Let me know in the comments.

Hello... Again

 Hello. It has been a while since I have written something for this blog. 2 years to be exact. This started out as an assignment for a class, which then became something that I enjoyed as I continued on. When the class was over, I sort of just forgot about it. Recently, I have thought of reviving this blog, and I thought as a way to start things off, I would do a catch-up of what has been going on. Since my last post, a lot has happened in my life. I completed my associate's degree in Liberal Arts in May of 2020. It is one of my proudest accomplishments, considering that it was right in the middle of a pandemic. My school was able to have a socially distanced commencement ceremony in September of 2020, for which I was super grateful. I applied to a local 4-year university last summer and I got accepted. I have now completed my first year at my new school and I am a Cinema and Media Arts major. How fitting. I really have found my calling with cinema and I am truly happy. I have no i...

Black Swan Movie Review

When I posted a review after watching The Social Network , I wasn't really expecting many views but I was definitely surprised by how many people looked at it. Since that review did so well, I thought I would review a movie that I watched this past week on a whim, Black Swan . I was scrolling through my TV and noticed that all of these movies were free for around a week and I saw that Black Swan was listed as free on demand. I have wanted to see this movie for years because of what it was about and how great Natalie Portman is as well. I was expecting to love this movie and hopefully, my thoughts will be coherent enough to follow along. Black Swan is a psychological horror film that came out in 2010. Directed by Darren Aronofsky, this film follows Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) a ballerina who dances in New York for a company. It is announced that there is going to be a ballet that is going to be a new take on Swan Lake where the main role is the Swan Queen, a portrayal of both ...

The Social Network Movie Review

Today in my Social Media class, we watched The Social Network and I thought that it was a fitting choice for what has been talked about so far. After finishing the film, I wanted to write my initial thoughts about the film, or rather what I could decipher immediately after finishing it. I feel my mind is spinning a million miles a minute right now but here are my thoughts about the movie after watching it. The Social Network is a drama film that came out in 2010 and was directed by David Fincher. This film follows the creation of Facebook through Mark Zuckerburg, Eduardo Saverin, and others with showing flashback scenes of the creation process and the problems that Zuckerberg later faced after the matter. Some of the stars of The Social Network include Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Rooney Mara, Brenda Song, Rashida Jones, and many others. According to IMDb, this film was nominated for eight Oscars and ended up winning three Oscars. This film won Best Adapted...
