The time has come for ranking one of the „main” categories (even if I personally think it should not be considered that – why is „best actor” more important than, for example, „best documentary short”, but I digress…). Here we have a group of white men only (yes, Antonio Banderas is a Spanish man from …

OSCARS 2020 – Best Editing
And now we are entering a territory in which the nominations are completely baffling to me. Three of those films absolutely do not deserve to be even considered for awards (period) of technical nature. Alas, it is what it is. 5. Jojo Rabbit, Tom Eagles This film was a disappointment in every way for me. …
OSCARS 2020 – Best Animated Feature
I enjoyed all of the nominated features in one way ot another. And that is great! So far the „lesser” (in the view of the public) categories have the best films to offer. 5. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World The only reason How to Train Your Dragon is lowest on the list …
OSCARS 2020 – Best Live Action Short Film

Anthony Hopkins, The Two Popes …
OSCARS 2020 – Best Animated Short Film
Today, I am continuing my Oscars series and ranking the nominated animated short films. As always, these are the short films easiest to view online. I feel like it would be a good idea for ALL the short film producers to consider making them more easily available since the pre-Oscars time might be the time …
OSCARS 2020 – Best Original Song
I would like to write a post for each category, ranking all the nominees. I thought I would start with Best Original Song even though I really do not have a lot of strong feelings here. I think all of the nominated songs are… fine. There is nothing particularly awful here, but there is no …
A Few Words About the Oscar Nominations
So. The Oscar nominations were announced today. I still have not seen Little Women and The Farewell, two films that were snubbed in various categories, according to many. Both of them were directed by women, The Farewell – by a woman of color. No women were nominating in the Best Director category. Again. The two …
