Three On Thursday

February 21, 2019 By Carole

You know what’s happening this Sunday night? The Oscars! And I’m pretty sure you all know how much I love the movies and the Academy Awards since I gush about it every year around this time. As is our tradition, Dale and I have seen all of the Best Picture nominees as well as a majority of the Best Actor/Actress and Best Supporting Actor/Actress. Today I’m going to break down these three categories. For Best Picture I am sharing the movies in order of my most to least favorite. And for the Actor/Actress and Supporting Actor/Actress I’m sharing who I think should win but this one is quite subjective since I haven’t seen all of the performances in these categories. Please note – these are not predictions – just a list of my personal favorites.

Best Picture

  • Green Book
  • A Star is Born
  • BlacKkKlansman
  • Vice
  • Bohemian Rhapsody
  • The Favourite
  • Black Panther
  • Roma

Best Actor/Actress

  • Lady Gaga
  • Rami Malek

Best Supporting Actor/Actress

  • Rachel Weisz
  • Mahershala Ali

We’ll find out on Sunday night how it all plays out. It should be an interesting event without a host . . . I’m just hoping for great fashion and fun night of television.

    I haven’t seen any of the movies, so don’t have any opinions. The trailer for Green Book looked good! Maybe you and Kym could host!

    I think the only best picture nominee I’ve seen is Black Panther, though I’d like to see more of them (usually I end up getting them all from Netflix after the Oscars). I’m hoping that without a host the show moves a little faster!

    I’ve seen only Vice (made us mad all over again) and Black Panther, which I would like to see a second time.

    I have only seen a couple of your list – we are not huge movie goers. And, sadly, neither are we big awards show watchers.

    But, if you and Kym hosted, I would most certainly watch! Something for them to consider!! I hope you are having an awesome week!

  5. Kym says

    I still can’t decide which movie I hope wins Best Picture . . . but I think I have to go with Glenn Close for Best Actress. (And after seeing Can You Ever Forgive Me, I certainly see why Melissa McCarthy is in the running!) The rest of your acting favorites are my favorites, too. Can’t wait for Sunday night!

  6. Patty says

    I’ve seen a couple but not nearly enough! The show is always fun though, I can’t wait to watch.

  7. Vicki says

    I agree with Kym about Best Actress! Glenn Close was AMAZINGGGGG in/as The Wife!! (She also seems amazing as Glenn Close.) I will see The Favourite, Vice, Black Panther (for the second time), and Bohemian Rhapsody (also for the second time) on Saturday… can’t wait for that, and then SUNDAY!! I didn’t realize there wasn’t a host this year. I hope there’s still a good opening number! 😉

    You can keep us busy with all these movies and books!

  9. Becky says

    February 21, 2019 at 6:09 pm

    I haven’t seen any of them. I usually wait until they are on streaming. I admit my lack of enthusiasm is based on the fact that I don’t like a lot of movies anymore. I find most of them are somewhat depressing. I miss Nora Ephron! I hope you are having a fabulous week.

    February 22, 2019 at 7:22 am

    Hope you’re having a wonderful week … your accommodations sure look nice! I only watch the oscars for the Red Carpet part … the rest of it is way past my bedtime 😉

    Like Mary I always loved seeing the dresses and outfits. My mom has actually seen more of the movies up for awards than I have which is to say Mom: 2 Me:0!

Here’s current me reflected in the frame of a picture of Dale and I from our honeymoon 24 years ago. I’ve always loved this photo of us, it captured our joy so perfectly.

Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Forward. If there’s anything I’ve learned in my 55 years, it’s that facing forward is the best way to live. All the things in life, good or bad, can be resolved this way, our problems only multiple if we try to skirt around them. True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward

The washing and moisturizing, the attempts to hold the approach of aging at bay. They’ve held and comforted so many loved ones, they’ve changed diapers and checked out books at the library, they’ve typed countless words, they’ve cooked and cleaned and done everything I’ve expected and I appreciate every bump and age spot and ... they are mine. #aepiecesofus #piecesofme #myhandstellmystory
