A few minor changes to my October Oscars Pre-Callout to the Academy. Some new nominees and changes to the bottom of the Top 10 films of the year.
The big riser, and I cannot BELIEVE I am saying this, is an Eminem produced film about a white kid learning to battle rap. However, Bodied deserves all the accolades I am giving it; it’s THAT good.
