The Oscar Nominations are out, as of January 13. There were 9 films nominated for best picture. And no women nominated for best director. Again. There were surprises and there were snubs. So it was just like any other year. And we are here to talk about it. We start the episode by discussing our apparel store, and we are going to remind you about it here. Please check it out, and pick yourself up an epic Movies That Make Us shirts or a nice sticker. Proceeds go to help us keep the lights on. So check it out here. We also recognize our fan, Holly, and share her wonderful feedback. We love you Holly, like we love all of our fans, you guys are why we do this show, and we love hearing from you.And we talk about what it feels like to be 40 and fell like you are in high school again. And going to your friend’s house. And not leaving the gate open so the dogs can get out. Then we talk Oscar nominations. We break down the major categories, like actor, actress, director, music, cinematography, and of course best picture. We pick our winners in each category, and talk about who we think should win.(They’re not always the same)What are your thoughts on the Oscar nominations? Let us know by sending your feedback to podcast@moviesthatmakeus.com. We want to hear from you. Have an idea for a show we could do?
