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 Adapted Screenplay
Best Adapted Screenplay:
Arrival
Fences
Hidden Figures
Lion
Moonlight
While researching snubs for this category I noticed that there was a serious lack of solid adaptations that were released in 2016. Most were already nominated. I fully expect Moonlight to run away with this Oscar, but the other nominees should not be ignored. Arrival was able to take the short story Story of Your Life and translate it into a beautiful sci-fi poem and Fences broke all the rules by pretty much just filming a Broadway play.
My Ballot:
Fences
Lion
Arrival
Hidden Figures
Moonlight
My Pick to Win:
Moonlight
Shamefully Snubbed:
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
