my picks for tonight’s 90th Academy Awards (the Oscars for 2017’s films) (winners indicated)
I correctly guessed 15 out of the 24 categories, which is one of my better showings ever, I think.
Fantastic Woman
movies by or about women opening UK/Ire from Thu Mar 01
Documentaries by Andrea Luka Zimmerman and Jen Randall, a drama by Saila Kariat, and more.

movies by or about women opening US/Can from Fri Feb 02
Gina Carano kicks ass, Helen Mirren placates ghosts, and Daniela Vega fights for basic human dignity.
