The Oscar's are coming up! On Sunday, February 26th, the 89th Academy Awards will be held. I am a pretty big movie person, and I can usually be seen chilling at the theater with a bucket of popcorn in tow.

After this last year's film releases, I'm so excited to see what/who wins!

Arrival

Fences

Hacksaw Ridge
