Shannon: I must say, this past month has been somewhat stressful trying to fit all these Oscar Nominated movies in such a short amount of time. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that it was still fun and I hope that you all had as much fun as we did. Some movies were great and some were not so great (in my opinion anyway), but regardless of my or David’s feelings on these films, there is no debating that these films deserve every nomination that they are given. First, we will give you a recap of the films watched over the past few weeks, our ratings, and for what awards they were nominated. Then, we will give you both our predictions for the Oscar winners and who we would choose to win.
