The dust hasn't quite settled on the Oscars nomination for pundits and cinephiles… I mean, I'm still reeling from the fact that my #1 film of 2022, The Woman King was grossly overlooked. Not even a nomination for Viola Davis which I thought would've been a shoo-in! In any case, you can read my gripes …

Happy #OscarsNominations2023! I actually woke up exactly at 7 AM this morning to watch the LIVE announcement on my phone. I don't know why as I had never done that before but my hubby usually is up by then so I thought I'd tune in to see the presenters announce the nominees. In any case, …
