You might want to lower your expectations for the Oscars this year. There are a number of factors leading to this being a sub par situation. For me the key part of it is the buzz being generated by Roma. This is the foreign film that won basically everything at the Globes. I watched this film days ago and did not finish. Roma was basic. Roma was trying to show us a world where there is a strong divide between wealth and poverty yet the problems we face (namely men in this case) unite us. However, that story was highly stylized and told in such a way that it made me feel like the director figured we needed to languish in the scenes in order to appreciate the divide.
Here’s the deal: I appreciate the divide. Don’t rub my face in it and don’t overly stylize it. The black and white was just too far. Nevertheless, it won. That could mean it will win more.
I’m hoping Spiderman wins. I’m hoping Black Panther does not win, because in my mind that makes me feel like they’ll need to nominate Captain Marvel, because that is just how things feel these days. I’m being snarky but only a little.
Some Thoughts:
- This Nugenix crap is irritating. I believe there are tons of men out there who believe in it and thus find themselves trying it and recognizing that it is bunk. There is no magic pill for aging. You just get old and need to work harder for less results.
