It’s that time of year when I come to terms with not being on the same page as The Academy regarding the films I like. A year after what had to be one of the most awkward Academy Awards (thanks to COVID and the odd restrictions set in place), we follow it up with probably the most memorable (for better or worst) moments in the Oscars televised history. Although I may not agree with everything they like, I am happy to say that I can predict them pretty well. Especially this year, I ended up correctly guessing 21 of the 23 categories (hopefully, you used the picks on your ballot as I suggested!) That’s a 91.3%, god enough for an A- (although I still disagree with the selections that differed.) Unfortunately, my picks that I wanted to win didn't fair as well; that was 12 of 23 or 52.17%, which is a big fat F.

Today is the big day! For most people, it’s just Sunday, March 27th; for a select group of people out there and me, it’s like Christmas. I’m not nominated for an Oscar, I’m not even attending the ceremony, but this is the night that I spend half my year and have for over a decade looking forward to. It’s the culmination of what I use as my calendar year.
