What Do You Think About The 2019 Oscar Nominations? Will You Even Be Watching This Year?

I’ve enjoyed watching the Academy Awards since I was a kid. They were always a lot of fun to watch! As I got older I hosted several Oscar parties, would attend others, and it would just be good entertainment that celebrated great movies and great filmmaking.

Unfortunately, in recent years, the award ceremony has started to lose the fun and entertaining aspect that I loved about it so much. It used to have class, but now it’s just a place for famous people to make political statements.

Don’t get me wrong, they have every right to do so. But, politics is not fun for me. I go to the movies to escape real life. I go to lose myself in these worlds in the stories that filmmakers tell. I just don’t need an extra dose of depressing politics. I get enough of that every day on Facebook and Twitter. Then there’s the fact that there’s no host! I might have actually watched if Kevin Hart hosted because I enjoy his stand-up comedy. This is the first year since I was a kid that I could care less about watching the Oscars. This year I think I’m just going to go to the movies during the Academy Awards.

Now, there are some decent movies nominated this year for the 91st Academy. Director Alfonso Cuaron’s Netflix film Roma leads the pack with 11 nominations. The Favourite ended up with 10. A Star is Born and Vice both got eight nominations, and Black Panther received seven, including one for Best Picture. BlacKkKlansman got six nominations, Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody each received five. Then there is Can You Ever Forgive Me and If Beale Street Could Talk which received three. I imagine Roma will walk away with most of the awards, because the Academy loves films like that.

Check out all the nominations below, and let us know what you think. Who do you think will win? What movies do you want to see win? Will you even be watching the Oscars this year?
