The 2019 Oscar Nominations Were Announced Earlier Than Ever, And Here's The Tea

If you didn't know, the Oscar Nominations were announced early on Tuesday, January 22nd by Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross. The Oscars will most likely be held this year without a host, something that hasn't happened since 1989, on February 24.

The Academy has yet to announce its plans, although there have been lots of speculations including a Marvel round of hosts presenting.

"Black Panther" made history as the first superhero movie nominated for Best Picture and has a total of seven nominations. "Roma" was nominated for Best Picture, something rarely accomplished by a Foreign Film, and received 10 nominations in total. Spike Lee received a nomination for Best Director for the first time. "The Favourites" leads, along with "Roma" for most nominations with 10.

Emily Blunt wasn't nominated for "Mary Poppins," Bradley Cooper was not nominated for Best Director, "If Beale Street Could Talk" did not receive a Best Picture Nomination, "Eighth Grade" received no nominations, and "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" also received no nominations.

Personally, I feel like the most talked about films ended up not being as nominated as predicted such as "A Star Is Born" (which hasn't done as well this award season as predicted).

This award season has felt a little different with unpredictable wins at the Emmys and Golden Globes and some expected nominations being "snubbed." So maybe this year, it will be even harder to predict the winners especially Best Picture, which in recent years has gone against predictions.

Now if you are looking for a little help in predicting Best Picture, most years, the Producers Guild of America Awards helps predict the Oscar winners. On January 18, "Green Book" was awarded Best Film.

So time will tell if "Green Book," which also won the Golden Globe, will come out as the Best Picture. But it might be the best bet.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
