Oscar WrapUp 2016








So I got the same score as last year with 17 predicted right. Those short films did me in, I didn’t get one of them right. Chris Rock was pretty good as host. I thought the girl guide cookies fell flat but I loved his comment on what males wear and the clips of black people having a hard time in white movies. The music was weird this time around. The Ride of the Valkyries as play off music sounded awkward as was the music played for Brie Larson’s win for the emotionally draining Room. Oh well. I did enjoy the nomination packages again this year. I know I’m a nerd. Let’s see who won:
