And the Oscar goes to... Green Book


As you've probably heard already, the Oscars were held on Sunday, with "Green Book" taking the top prize of Best Picture, to go along with wins for Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay. Frankly, it proved to be a disappointing end to a rather surprising and satisfying night. Indeed, I only predicted a dismal 14 out of 24 categories correctly. But ultimately, I don't mind being wrong if it means historic wins for the Black Panther team and a shocking upset for the wonderful Olivia Colman in Best Actress.

  2. In my opinion, "Green Book" really deserves Oscar. Even though I watched this film in a couple of days before the Oscars I have read the book and can surely say that it is perfect.
