The Oscars 2021 were better than others. I always thought that Oscars have to be awarded to movies close to spectacular, and to outstanding performances or deeds. This rarely happens, and unfortunately, that won't happen again. Thus I greatly appreciate the persons involved, they exert a great effort from the project's beginning to its end, even if the result is not the best movie ever. If the result is trash, it means they didn't work enough, and they aren't worth mentioning. They wouldn't be … [Read more...]
All-White HFPA Overlooked Black Actors and Black-led Projects. Really?

Golden Globes 2019 – Nominees and Winners’ List
The Golden Globes 2019 Awards' ceremony was this year at its 76th edition. Here are the nominees and winners, a simple list without comments. Unfortunately I couldn't watch all the movies in time to have an accurate opinion and I may be a little bit subjective. There were at least two movies I had the opportunity to watch and I choose not to, at least for the moment. I'll see about them with the time coming. Two years ago, I was on the verge to erase this subcategory (Awards) from my website. … [Read more...]
