Reviews, ruminations, ramblings, and reminisces about the movies. New for 2020 - The Year in Movies. Every few days I will post about a year in movie history and then post my favorite movie from that year.

Countdown to Oscar Night: Best Actress
Best Actress
Marion Cotillard - Two Days, One Night
Felicity Jones - The Theory of Everything
Julianne Moore - Still Alice
Rosamund Pike - Gone Girl
Reese Witherspoon - Wild
In my quest to see every nominated film, this category seems to be my Kryptonite. I talked myself out of driving to Raleigh last week to see Still Alice, and I'm still not entirely sure that Two Days, One Night actually exists. Otherwise, this was a pretty weak year for leading female roles. Julianne Moore will finally take home an Oscar, which is nice, since she is about 17 years or so overdue (see Boogie Nights, Far from Heaven, or The Hours).
My Ballot:
Reese Witherspoon - Wild
Felicity Jones - The Theory of Everything
Rosamund Pike - Gone Girl
My Pick to Win:
Julianne Moore - Still Alice
Shamefully Snubbed:
Jenny Slate - Obvious Child
