Will 'A Star Is Born' Dominate The 2019 Oscars?

What most saw impossible, Bradley Cooper took the chance in recreating a timeless classic "A Star Is Born." Modernizing a 1976 movie can be difficult and challenging but Cooper was up for the task.

Now, the movie hasn't been released yet but the Oscar buzz surrounding it is huge. It just debuted this past weekend at the Venice film festival where critics ate it up and gave it a shiny 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga's chemistry at the Venice festival was off the charts and now we want them to be a real couple. Lady Gaga making her first movie debut has also made the buzz of this movie even bigger. Will her acting career live up to her singing career?

Entertainment Weekly just released a sneak peek of an intimate scene between Jackson and Ally. Also released was never before seen shots that give you a little insight into how beautiful the cinematography is.

Cooper is reportedly "that good" as Jackson Maine, while Gaga is "sensational" and an "absolute natural." Could Gaga get her first acting nomination for her first film? Many critics have said yes but only the movie goers will tell once it comes out October 5, 2018.

Not only is the acting being praised, the workers behind the camera are getting the recognition they deserve. Cinematography, editing, sound mixing, and costume design are all open to debate for taking home an award.

We haven't even talked about the soundtrack if Warner Brothers decide to push for all categories the soundtrack could be taking more than one award home. Cooper could expect more than one nomination for his work on the movie.

Kristopher Tapley from Variety says this movie "has the muscle to achieve what only three films in movie history ever have: Win all five major Academy Awards (picture, director, actress, and screenplay)."

Will they be able to take all major awards (picture, director, actor, actress, and screenplay) home?

Is it an Academy Award worthy? Let me know your thoughts and predictions in the comments!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
