If you're planning on watching the Oscars tonight, but you didn't have a chance to play catch-up with most of the nominees, I'm here to help. It's no fun when you watch an awards show but you know next to nothing about the movies that are up for the big awards. So, I've collected my reviews for nine of the Best Picture nominees (the last review, for King Richard, won’t go up until April 1st), and I've also ranked them in order of what I'd like to see win. Number one is what I most want to win, number ten is what I least want to win. I haven't provided any commentary besides the ranking, because if you want to know what I think of each one, you can just click the link and read my original review (except for King Richard! I did abysmally this year and had only written about three of the nominees by the time the nominations were announced). I've also included links to my reviews for movies nominated in other categories. Happy reading, and happy viewing!
