Hollywood gathers to celebrate the year’s best in motion pictures. The Oscars is a cultural event much like the Super Bowl except everyone is dressed to thrill. Let’s see who makes history and takes home the golden guy.
The 91st Academy Awards are being handed out tonight and the ceremonies will be held without a host. There seems to be a focus on music this year which is interesting. It will be interesting to see who goes home with Oscars and I predict Rami Malek will win Best Actor and Bohemian Rhapsody or Black Panther I hope will win Best Picture. I am also hoping Lady Gaga wins best actress.

The Academy Awards failure to recognize Wonder Woman by denying it of any nominations is troubling and sad. It was a opportunity to recognize a film that was culturally important in the past year. The Oscars needs to expand it’s world view and to be more inclusive of different types of genres that includes comedy and super hero movies. The team of Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins were special in a time when the role of women have social significance. The same could be said for past movies who were also snubbed.
The 89th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, will honor the best films of 2016 and will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California on February 26, 2017.
This night is about the best in motion pictures and high style. It’s one of the high holy nights in American culture where we will see if our favorite movies and actors will win one of the most prized awards in entertainment.
