2015 Oscar Winners Predictions

 

It’s that time of year again, Oscar Season. A time where movie audiences get to celebrate the past year films by watching the Academy give awards to movie that will forever be connected to film history.

Movies are a subjective form of entertainment so it’s rare for the Oscar Academy to get everything right in our own eyes. But sometimes they should be spatted for recognizing quality films and they should be berated when they completely blow it. This year the Academy again deserves to be applauded but they most certainly deserve to be jawed as well.

I don’t know about you folks but I love awards season. After a year of movie watching its fun to see where your favorites measure up with those of critics and movie fans around the world.  And of course then there are the Academy.
