Only 364 more days until the next Oscars!

So excited that GreenBook won Best Picture! Some surprises last night though, for the first time in a long time, I was wrong for both Best Actor &  Best Actress.  I thought Christian Bale and Glenn Close were golden bets but the Academy didn’t get it wrong: both Rami Malek and Olivia Colmen gave amazing performances. Overall, I just love seeing the rewards of good art.  I celebrated with a couple of movie watching pals and a few Oscar signature cocktails. Favorite moment?  Bradley & Gaga singing…be still my heart. Are they a couple yet? When I wasn’t watching him, my eyes were drawn to that massive rock around her neck- DAAAANG! Tell me your favorite moment in the comments!

I’m working on adding a few things to this blog. Adding some “widgets”…what’s a widget you ask?  I just learned about them as well.  They are mini posts or buttons along the right sidebar.  The first one I’m adding is my Top 10 Movies to Watch (from last 6 months). A quick reference for you to see which flicks are my recent favorites.  It’s a little tricky to keep it to the last 6 months- otherwise Black Panther, A Quiet Place and Ready Player One would have made the list. (I haven’t yet seen SpiderMan: Into the Spider-Verse, otherwise I suspect it would have made my list too) I plan to keep this list changing and remove movies once they age out or get bumped by better films.

Quick question for my grammar friendly pals, I italicized the movie titles in this post but didn’t before…is this necessary still? I’m wondering what should be my norm?  Would love your opinion and thanks for reading!
