Well it has been a while hasn’t it. It’s Oscars time again and I’m back with my
picks. It’ll be simple this year, I’ll
say what I think will win and also in what order I really liked them (because
they aren’t the same often.
Also, I’m saving a write up of each movie for
something else I’m working on. Hopefully
sometime in the near future I’ll be posting a megalist/almost database of
movies released from 2013-now. It’s
currently at 657 movies so I should have just about everything covered. I’m looking to move to a different site first
so everything will work out better. To
the picks.
