The 2019 Oscar Nominations Were Announced Earlier Than Ever, And Here's The Tea

If you didn't know, the Oscar Nominations were announced early on Tuesday, January 22nd by Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross. The Oscars will most likely be held this year without a host, something that hasn't happened since 1989, on February 24.

The Academy has yet to announce its plans, although there have been lots of speculations including a Marvel round of hosts presenting.

"Black Panther" made history as the first superhero movie nominated for Best Picture and has a total of seven nominations. "Roma" was nominated for Best Picture, something rarely accomplished by a Foreign Film, and received 10 nominations in total. Spike Lee received a nomination for Best Director for the first time. "The Favourites" leads, along with "Roma" for most nominations with 10.

Emily Blunt wasn't nominated for "Mary Poppins," Bradley Cooper was not nominated for Best Director, "If Beale Street Could Talk" did not receive a Best Picture Nomination, "Eighth Grade" received no nominations, and "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" also received no nominations.

Personally, I feel like the most talked about films ended up not being as nominated as predicted such as "A Star Is Born" (which hasn't done as well this award season as predicted).

This award season has felt a little different with unpredictable wins at the Emmys and Golden Globes and some expected nominations being "snubbed." So maybe this year, it will be even harder to predict the winners especially Best Picture, which in recent years has gone against predictions.

Now if you are looking for a little help in predicting Best Picture, most years, the Producers Guild of America Awards helps predict the Oscar winners. On January 18, "Green Book" was awarded Best Film.

So time will tell if "Green Book," which also won the Golden Globe, will come out as the Best Picture. But it might be the best bet.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
