Wrap Up

I made it through my Oscar Gluttony! Now all that's left is the exaggerated celebration and self-aggrandizement of the evening itself! I'm so excited for dresses, political speeches, gaffes and good food as I sit at home and pretend I don't want to be in Hollywood!

Out of a possible 61 nominated films, I saw 57 of them! (That's totally an A if you are wondering. Which you weren't, because nobody cares about that, right? Not me. I don't.)

Good news: Oscar is definitely less white this year. Bad News: I can only come up with 19 movies that pass the Bechdel test! I would have thought there were more.

Nominations that I was sad to see overlooked:

Emily Blunt in The Girl on the Train
Manchester By the Sea for editing
Hell or High Water and Silence for Directing
