In what is being called the most open-ended nominations ever, the 2018 Oscar Nominations were announced this morning.
I am so excited that my best movie of last year “Get Out” was nominated for best picture.
Remeber it is written and directed by Jordan Peele, half of the celebrated comedy duo Key and Peele. This movie made an incredibly smart move to cast this story about racism not as a drama or comedy, but as a horror film.

Were you happy with this year’s result?
I haven’t watched the Oscar’s in a few years because they usually tend to be a snoozefest but I was happy to see some variety in the nomination process this year.
