I love the Oscars. It always amazes me to see all of those outstanding stars get awarded for their hard work. This last Sunday was the 91st Oscars ever and it was fabulous. Not only was it the first time in years that the Oscars didn't have a host, but they also had so many deserving stars to choose from for each category. If you had to miss this year's Academy Awards, here are the 23 highlights that you need to know about.

1. Queen sang "We Are The Champions" and "We Will Rock You" 

Watching all of the stars sing "We Are The Champions" and "We Will Rock You" was truly the best way to open up the show.

2. Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler's were the opening speech 

In case you were confused they weren't the hosts, they were just on stage A LOT.

4. Regina King won her very first Oscar award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role

As she said in her acceptance speech, God is extremely great and you can do anything through Him.

5. Jennifer Hudson gave an outstanding performance

How did she sing those notes so HIGH?

6. Melissa McCarthy and Brian Tyree Henry's outfits were HILARIOUS

They should've won an Oscar just for their outfits.

8. "Bohemian Rhapsody" won the Oscar for Sound Editing AND Sound Mixing AND Film Editing

What a night it was for the cast and crew of "Bohemian Rhapsody!"

11. Mahershala Ali won his second Oscar ever for Actor in a Supporting Role

He is amazing and is definitely worthy of his TWO Oscars.

12. "Spider-Man: Into The Spider Universe" won Best Animated Feature

Another amazing "Spider-man" movie in the books.

13. Gillian Welch and David Rawlings sung "When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings"

The Oscar nominated song was sung beautifully by Gillian and David.

14. Awkwafina and John Mulaney's first time at the Oscars and they got to present TWO awards

They were hilarious and told horrible jokes, but they were so funny.

15. The Netflix original "Period. End of Sentence" won Best Documentary Short Subject

"A period should end a sentence, not a girl's education."

16. Paul Rudd showed up to present the Visual Effects Award

He should win an Oscar for looking the same as he did 20 YEARS AGO.

18. "The BlacKkKlansman" won Best Adapted Screenplay

Their speech about Black History month was absolutely AMAZING.

20. Lady Gaga won Best Original Song with her song "Shallow"

Too bad Bradley Cooper didn't follow her on stage this time.

21. Rami Malek won Best Actor In A Leading Role

His first Oscar was much deserved!

22. Olivia Coleman won Best Actress In A Leading Role

One of the most moving speeches of the night.

23. "Green Book" won Best Picture AND Best Original Screenplay

The love and respect poured into this film was more than worthy of the Oscars they won.

Overall, the 2019 Oscars were a success. Now, who's ready for the 2020 Oscars?

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
