I will admit I did not watch the Oscars. On a good year, I have maybe seen two of the movies mentioned. One year, I tried to watch all the nominated films and ended up just wanting to poke my eyes out. Perhaps I am not refined enough to understand the highly educated mind, and frankly, I am okay with that.
So here's what I like in a movie. I like to smile, laugh, cry for a bit and then smile again. I like to feel good when I've finished watching. I like a movie that makes we want to hold my husband's hand or go home and tell him that I love him. I like a movie that reminds me that kids will drive you all the way to crazy but at the same time make my heart pound with love and pride. I like to be inspired to be better and to love more. And on occasion I even like to be scared but just a little. I like when the good guys win and when the couple gets together. Some would say that makes me boring or simple. I'll take it.
I don't like movies that are gross, bloody, evil, have crude humor or have language that makes my ears hurt. Oh and I prefer the characters to have bathed recently.
So here are the movies in the running (meaning the movies I actually saw this year)
So, let's hit some of the Oscar Categories, shall we?
Best Make Up - Mockingjay Part 2
Best Costume Design - Cinderella (but Mockingjay Part 2 is right up there)

Some further thoughts..
 |
| I loved this movie is was funny, clean and made me think about people and their personal struggles in the different stations and seasons of life. |
 |
| I loved this movie too, because the male lead was a real live gentleman! and it demonstrated the power of putting other peoples needs above your own. |
 |
| Ugh. I just want those 2 hours of my life back. |
The bear scene was pretty realistic. Otherwise, lots of dirty people, incredibly slow, and depressing
 |
| Exciting, fun, action, adventure! Loved every minute! |
 |
| Pleasant surprise about walking a mile in someone else's shoes |
 |
| Just the right amount of scary, and a good reminder to be kind to others! |
 |
| Yes, Please. |
 |
| Inspirational!! Life changing movie! By far the best of the year! |
Now, somebody book a photo shoot, clearly I have too much time on my hands!!
