Starting this coming Friday (February 23rd) and ending next Saturday (March 3rd) I will be posting my personal countdown and ranking of the 2017 films nominated for Best Picture at the upcoming Academy Awards! Posts will be largely opinion-based, so no offense is meant, and I just want to have a bit of fun throwing my two cents into the Oscar race.
Hence why there is no regular post today, as I will be doing 9 daily posts, 1 for each film, starting this Friday, and the Monday (March 5th) post will likely be an Oscars award show recap, like I did last year.
This is the very first year I’ve been able to see all the Best Picture noms, from two perspectives of WWII and the evacuation at Dunkirk, to an amphibian twist on the tale as old as time, to a dark comedy about vengeance and redemption, to a chic exploration of human relationships, to a life-altering Italian summer, to a horror-filled weekend at an unsettling house, to a coming-of-age tale of a teenage girl seeking her place, and a political thriller that feels more timely than ever, I’ve got lots of thoughts to share, so stay tuned!
