oh my favorite time of year Oscars season. I love the Oscars and I love everything about it. One of my favorite things about the award ceremony is it’s production and everything that goes into it. This is something I really wanna work on in the future, especially since film is one of those niches that I am especially interested in production for I was never truly aware of all of the work that goes into it, however until I read this article and saw the amount of names that were included on, even just the writers panel, I think it’s crazy that a show that is just to give out awards to the best films of the year has so many bits and so many different little scenes included to make the runtime longer and to make the show more entertaining for the masses! I can't wait to watch the 98th one.

This is really exciting. I’m not familiar with most of these names, but hopefully I will be more in the future. I never knew that an announcement of the Oscars production team was paid much attention to, but I think it’s really great that it is. I’m honestly impressed with the amount of writers there are that go into the ceremony. I also really look forward to seeing the production design that Misty Buckley and Alana Billingsley come up with, especially after their Emmy win. I’m also really excited to see the Oscars hosted by Conan O’Brien! I think he’s super entertaining and a great face of the industry. I thought there were some really great films this season, and I look forward to seeing which ones are honored at this year’s award show. I honestly expect Sinners to sweep or have a near sweep of their categories this year, and I wouldn’t really fault the Academy if that were the case.
