Paddington 2 - Best Animated Feature

With a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, Paddington 2 was absolutely snubbed from the 2019 Oscars. It had beautiful animation and plenty of heart to go around.

Hereditary - Best Picture

Horror films seldom see the Best Picture category, with Get Out barely squeezing past the dark comedy listing and The Silence of the Lambs' win coming in 1992, but Hereditary is a tense, thrilling, unpredictable film with a non-formulaic plot and many great performances to cap off a great idea for a story. (Not to mention it is SO scary.)

First Reformed (Ethan Hawke) - Best Actor

Giphy

This movie flew under the spectacle radar, but it is fantastic. Ethan Hawke drives the heart, or the lack of one, in this movie. It is modern, profound, and makes Viggo Mortensen in Green Book look unimpressive.

Sorry to Bother You - Best Picture and Best Director

Sorry to Bother You is one of the great, pioneering absurdist commentaries to come out in this generation. First-time director Boots Riley deserves acclaim upon acclaim for this film, as it's premise is refreshing and every second of the movie is new and quirky. Yet no nominations.

Eighth Grade- Best Director

Bo Burnham created an insanely relatable, absorbable film with Eighth Grade, as he directed every second to be familiar and brought the best out of his actors. Enough said.

A Quiet Place (Emily Blunt) - Best Actress

Emily Blunt's performance in A Quiet Place sells the movie. This is a story about family and self-sacrifice. Both her and real life husband/ director John Krasinski would do anything for their children in this movie, but the intimate moments of the film are orchestrated by terrific acting by Blunt.

First Man- Best Cinematography

This movie's best quality and the prime design of director Damien Chazelle is its cinematography. Every shot is built with suspense and builds character. Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy shine in this movie as well, but the visuals accompany the sound design in the perfect manner.

Mandy (Nicolas Cage) - Best Actor

This movie is absolutely bonkers, and Nicolas Cage is the reason why. Watch it and prove me wrong. Only he could play this role. That's it.

Won't You Be My Neighbor? - Best Documentary Feature

This telling of the story of Mr. Rogers was a favorite to not only be nominated but WIN the documentary category. It received no such luxury. Absolutely wrong.

Aquaman - Best Visual Effects

Giphy

The main appeal of Aquaman was its visuals, and it was absolutely full of them. It should've easily beaten Solo: A Star Wars Story for a spot.

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.
