I don't watch any award shows. I find them boring. A bunch of industry insiders patting each other on the back, preaching to middle America all the while. Ugh.
I also tend to find the movies that are nominated to Oscars boring and unwatchable. I love del Toro, but The Shape of Water was not a good movie. I couldn't even finish it.
One award I did agree with was Oldman's Oscar for best actor. The Darkest Hour was a great movie, and he did a wonderful job as Churchill. I'm not a huge fan of historical drama or biopics, but Churchill's speech at the end of that movie was powerful. I've seen some of his quotes; but I've never heard a full speech. He really had a way with words, and I understand how the people got behind him.
The only other movie nominated this year that I think I might actually like is Get Out. Has anyone seen it?
