The Oscars!

/ Paul / Leave a comment

I spent the last few days trying to watch as many Best Picture nominees before the Oscars. I was able to watch 6 of the 8 movies. Here are the ones I watched:

None of the ones I saw won the Best Picture Oscar. It was Green Book. Of course, I need to see that one now. Also, I need to see Vice and The Favourite, the others nominated for Best Picture.

I guessed 13 out of 20 correct. Here are some other winners:

Best Actor: Rami Malek for Bohemian Rhapsody
Best Actress: Olivia Colman for The Favourite
Best Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali for Green Book
Best Supporting Actress: Regina King for If Beale Street Could Talk
Best Director: Alfonso Cuaron for Roma

I watched the entire show and loved it! But then again I love movies and the Oscars so of course I would watch it and enjoy it.

I walked a total of 1.99 miles today.

The Oscars Are Coming

I spent most of the day watching movies that have been nominated for an Oscar for best picture. The last movie I watched was A Star is Born with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. I thought she did a great job at acting and at singing all the songs. Bradley was okay at both. I’m not sure if this one will win an Oscar or not. We’ll see.

I did make time to walk today. I walked a total of 2.47 miles with .80 on the treadmill.

March Snow

It’s snowing again. We are supposed to get 5 to 9 inches of snow today. It started as ice in the middle of the night and transitioned to snow early this morning. It’s supposed to snow most of the day. I’ve got plenty of things to watch on my DVR.

In other news, I really enjoyed the Oscars last night. Ellen did an amazing job keeping things going and funny. She tweeted a picture out that quickly became the most re-tweeted tweet in history. I retweeted it too just to be part of the fun. I didn’t see any of the movies that were nominated but I did pick 50% of the winners correctly. I do want to see several of the movies and I probably will in the months to come.

Update: The snow finally stopped around 3:00 PM. In the end we got between 6 and 7 inches of snow. During the heaviest snow, I shot some video. Here’s what I saw.
