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!

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
