Michael's Musings

You Look Like A Movie Star, Honey

"Everybody is a star" - Sly & The Family Stone

It's Academy Awards Week, in honor of that I am going to give you my picks, not the ones I think will win, for the five main categories wedged in throughout this column.

Now aren't you happy?! Let's get this party started!!!

Let's start with Best Picture shall we? Let's! This is a tough category for me because One Battle After Another and Sinners are basically neck and neck for me. This being stated my pick is Sinners it was the most original and audacious of the two.

Confidence doesn't come from knowing everything. It comes from being willing to figure it out.

Shay Mitchell from Pretty Little Liars (love her) has been cast in the Baywatch reboot

You could put some joy upon my face, that's all

OK, Best Actress since I haven't seen Jessie Buckley's performance in Hamnet, I thought Rose Byrne was phenomenal in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You. Her performance made me feel the characters actual anxiety.

A jellyfish's mouth is also it's anus. Basically congress of the sea.

I love NY but LA makes me cum, that's all you need to know

Everyone is annoying except for you and me, the more you know

Woman Crush of the Week - Daryl Hannah for being a warrior and taking control of her narrative after being disrespected by the fictional way she was portrayed in Love Story.

Best Actor even if Timothee Chalamet didn't fall flat on his face with his comments about opera and ballet going into the Oscar home stretch. My vote would be for Michael B. Jordan for his masterful performance in Sinners.

FYI Even demons think your a dick

Supporting Actress while I loved Teyana Taylor in One Battle After Another, Amy Madigan commanded the screen in Weapons. She gave us a whole new breed of villain.

Raise your hands if you have always felt the origin of your anger in your nether regions

And last but not least Supporting Actor, this is easy it's not even close for me Sean Penn in One Battle After Another.
