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).

An Uncaged Review for 'Uncage Yourself'

I was reached out to by Goodreads Author, Sophia Kaankuka , who asked me to read her book and share my thoughts on it. This book could not have come into my hands at a better time when I was looking to make some changes in my habits with changing season. The perfect time a self-help book can resonate with you is when you are absorbing the information with an open mind and non-cynical approach. Therefore reading this book was an insightful experience for me, and I want to share the reason with you in this blog post. Review for Uncage Yourself: A Guide on How to Free Oneself and Live one's Authentic Life Praise for the book Uncage Yourself is a collection of essays on a variety of topics of general life, on how to live an unbounded life to free yourself from all the hurdles and limitations that are a by-product of your own mind and misled thinking.

The French Dispatch: Review

  When I was in my fourth semester of graduation, the teacher gave us the assignment to write the script for one scene from our favourite movie. I chose a movie that I have never seen before but had downloaded on my laptop for about 7 months. That movie was ‘ The Grand Budapest Hotel' by Wes Anderson. And ever since I have been a great fan of the artistic style of Mr Anderson. The static frames of each scene gave me so much joy that I started making notes of all the scenes.  Since the start of my active involvement in reviewing movies (and books), I have been excited about one such movie. The French Dispatch.  Now if you have the slightest and mildest of interest in watching movies, that is source material for the study of cinematography, direction, art style with a hint of social commentary then you must have come across at least a few Wes Anderson recommendations that have popped up in your feed. And today, I present to you the greatest and the l...

Why Sir Alfred Hitchcock’s class Vertigo would fail with this generation.

When it comes to cinema and movies there are three types of movie watchers, as the term goes. The first category belongs to people who watch it for leisure, entertainment, on weekends and with friends and family. The second kind is the ones who watch it as background noise while scrolling through Instagram. And the third kind is the ones who study them, like me (and most of my friends). The third kind in my opinion is the worst because they extract all the fun and joy out of the simple form of entertainment, and that is what I am here for today.  If you are even mildly interested in writing and creating movies, there is no chance that you have not heard the name Sir Alfred Hitchcock . Popularly known as the Master of Mystery, Hitchcock has given Hollywood some of its greatest classics in the genre of mystery. The famous shower scene from Psycho is printed on all the books of cinematography for analysis.  Here's a task for you, name 5 Hitchcock classics. Did you na...
