For every movie buff and enthusiast out there, the most exciting time of the year is just about to arrive and no it’s not any film festival, it is The Oscars.
The Academy Awards that have been facilitating the best movies, actors and everything else, are soon going to be here (in fact they would roll out on March 4, 2018). This means we all need to get ready for all the movie debates and fights, regarding who would win what, very soon. However, all of these debates are only fun when you actually know and have seen these movies and performances.
Because let’s be real, one just can’t comment on how good a movie might be, for Academy Awards, without even watching them.
Plus, this makes the entire Oscars much more fun and interesting. The three-hour-long ceremony is about a million times more exciting if you’ve seen the films, and have favorites in the running. The victories are sweeter when you’ve been rooting for them for months; the losses, more bitter. Like literally, who can forget the big hula hoop that happened last year regarding the best movie category. Nothing can be compared to the happiness felt by the Moonlight lovers, right?
There’s nothing that can stop The Post from making it to the Oscars, after all the never-seen-before combination of Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, and Tom Hanks is something that deserves an Oscar of its own kind.
Potential Nominations: Best Actor (Tom Hanks), Best Actress (Meryl Streep) and Best Picture.

The Big Sick’s entry to the Oscars would make it an exception to be remembered for a long time.
