Even though I have cut the cord -- which I don't regret in the slightest, as commercials are often annoying, to say the least -- I will make it a point to watch the 90th Academy Awards ceremony this Sunday, March 4, 2018, at 8 p.m. (with red carpet coverage commencing at 6:30) on ABC, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel for the second year in a row. Free trials are available for YouTube TV, DirecTV now, and Hulu Live, but you have to remember to cancel the subscription once the trial period is over and, knowing me, I might will probably forget. This does prevent me from hosting an Oscar party, although my last one was three years ago. So I'll most likely be crashing at my parents' house, which is usually where I spending my Sunday evenings.
I did manage to see many of this year's Oscar-nominated films -- and those that were snubbed, like Wonder Woman -- whether streaming, on my Roku, or in the theatre. Below I have ranked every single one of these movies, separated into letter grade categories, listing alphabetically. And my favorite Movie of the year just so happens to be listed first. If I have time, I will post individual reviews.
