Every year when the award season comes around, everyone has their favorites and aren't afraid to share their opinions. Some opinions are more popular than others, like how all things in the world works. Throughout the start of this award season, Rami Malek was a favorite for an Oscar, due to his stellar performance and his previous wins for the work. That assumption went true when he, in fact, did win the Academy Award for Lead Actor. Winners in the category show great performance and phenomenal acting, among other things, all which Rami portrayed in his acting of Freddie Mercury. in "Bohemian Rapsody."

1. He makes you fall in love with Queen [even more].

A viewer can see some of the ups and downs that the band had over the years and how they progressed and continued to be a great group of individuals who became a family. Such a movie and performance by the cast makes you feel like you get a look at their inner life and experience a closeness to some truly spectacular people.

2. Sometimes one actually thinks he is The Freddie Mercury.

The acting, the mannerisms, and the performances are so spot on to the real Freddie Mercury that it's easy to think in the middle of the movie that you are actually watching the real man. Viewers made comparison videos showing scenes in the movie and the real-life moments and they appear mirrorlike. It's no easy to copy a person inside and out, but Rami does a pretty good job at encompassing Mercury and showing the man he was.

3. He works flawlessly with the fake teeth.

Freddie Mercury had four additional insures, causing him to have a slightly larger mouth than many. For Rami to get totally into character, he had to look the part, therefore donning fake teeth. He uses them perfectly and again looks very similar to the real man, which is no easy feat.

4. The Queen band mates and his sister are fans of his work.

Rami has gotten approval from the Queen bandmates, as well as Freddy Mercury's sister. He had meetings and conversations with them to get to know the real Freddie and after the movie was complete they stated they thought Rami was wonderful and did a great job portraying such a loved friend and brother.

5. He was practically born for the role.

Freddie Mercury was a child born in Zanzibar who came to England later as a child. Being an immigrant child was hard enough, especially for a child a bit different, like Freddie. Rami, like Freddie, is from an immigrant family, himself being born in Egypt and later moving the United States. Having such experiences made him perfect for honing in his acting and perfecting the role of Freddie.

Enough said, if you have not watched the movie, go watch it now!

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.

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.
