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 Original Screenplay
Best Original Screenplay:
20th Century Women
Hell or High Water
La La Land
The Lobster
Manchester by the Sea
I take this category as proof of La La Land's upcoming dominance of Oscar night. In a year where original screenwriting is at its recent zenith, a movie that is primarily song-driven and tells a traditional love story gets a nomination for its screenplay. I'm pretty sure the prize will go to Manchester, but the night will belong to the musical that has captivated the "city of stars".
My Ballot:
Hell or High Water
Manchester by the Sea
The Lobster
La La Land
My Pick to Win:
Manchester by the Sea
Shamefully Snubbed:
Captain Fantastic
