I’ve dedicated most of my free time to watching as many Oscar nominated films on this list. I love Award season but what irritates me is how the UK gets films so much later than the US. I’ve only had a month or so to cram all these amazing films in. 

I haven’t been able to watch everything. There’s just not enough hours in the day and I didn’t want to watch some films. I did watch the majority and I have left out some categories where I hadn’t watched most or any of the films included.

I’m very excited to pull another all nighter this year to watch the winners be chosen. I’m also attending an Oscar party this year so it’ll be a night to remember.
