Complete 94th Oscars Nominated Watch List



They say ‘Learn from the best’, but how do you define ‘Best’? What is the criteria of best? And how do you decide that something is best and nothing better can be done? When it comes to books, it seems like all books are ‘New York Times Best Sellers’. But then again, are all books the best? 


When it comes to movies, the Oscars seem to be the landmark of excellence. Every year I, like millions around the world, watch the awards, and the anticipation of watching you favourite Actor/ Actress/ Director walking up the stairs to the Oscars is exciting on some different scale.


This year, 276 movies were eligible for nomination for the Oscars, and being a film fanatic, I downloaded the list so I could watch them all. Halfway through, I realized that it is impossible for me (and frankly anyone) to watch all the movies before the main event itself. 


So I waited till the nominations were out to watch all the movies that were nominated. Even though the list is shorter, there are still 53 films to be seen that are nominated in 24 categories. 


If, like me, you too are passionate about watching movies, or an amateur film makers, or simply need some good movie recommendation, here is the comprehensive list of all the movies you should watch before the Oscars (in alphabetical order).

If I could live somewhere: That is Home.

   If you could live anywhere, on this big blue planet, where would it be? Would it be near the beach, where the sound of waves could be heard in between the conversations? or It would be in the city that never stops to catch a breath? Or in the middle of the forest with nature where everything prospers and thrives with greens and fragrant flowers bent by the weight of fat bumble bees?    My dream destination is away from all the habitation, it's me and the plants only. Some I grew with my own hand and some wild out of control, talking all the places they needed in the world. Making themselves known with their power and calm force.     It's a place where flowers grew wild and are not limited to the pots. They climb and twirl on the window sill. Can't be stopped. They don't care for the pattern they grew in. They want you to appreciate them for the art they create in their movement. They don't stop when hacked but grow faster from that experience. ...

People only look at the wrong thing | Essay on "Turning Red 2022"

  You are only a teenager once in your life, and it is not the best part of your life. Always hormonal, face full of pimples. Weird things are happening to your body and you are not sure what's up and don't even get me started on the number of crushes you get at that age.  I loved being a teen but it was not as fun as movies make it to be. That's the subplot of the movie turning red by Domee Shi. 13-year old Mei Lee is born into a family bleed by spirits. She and all the women in her family before her bore a special power, and turned into giant red pandas upon exhibiting over the top emotion. The trailer of the movie did not hold me very excited, I presumed it to be another coming of age movie, but I forgot that it is Disney Pixar, and it's not just normal ever. My peak of interest arose after seeing at least 5 posts a day about how the movie is being in controversy for being showing pads and talking about menstruation.   Menstruation is not something spe...

23 lessons for 23-year-old me.

I turned 23 yesterday.  This birthday was the most unusual because for the first time in my small life so far I have postponed my birthday celebration. This week I was swamped with deadlines, and my friends were still buzzing with Valentine's day celebrations (disadvantages of having a birthday right after the lovers' holiday). So we mutually agreed that we would party on the weekend instead. So I had a very intimate family dinner and went back to my desk after eating the cake.  However, this is not the point of this blog. Yesterday made me think "man! I have grown up!" because as a teenager I would spiral into sadness at this fact. I love birthday parties as much as I love reading. So not having all my favourite people around me and having a good time isn't how I envision my birthday.  That being said, I accepted the fact that I am older. I never imagined myself being 23, let alone any age other than retirement age. Again I'm touching on topics that are too d...
