A soothsayer once warned Julius Caesar: “Beware the Ides of March.” March 15 is the day the Oscar Nominations come out, certain to irritate the film lovers with what they got wrong. And because of the pandemic? Oh man, expect lots of surly, ornery tweets early on that Monday morning!
To help the voters out before the March 11 due date, I’ve comprised this list of the top categories below on who SHOULD win this year. You’re welcome, by the way. 😜
Disagree with my nominees? Comment below, or tweet @bemovieseemovie to let me know what I screwed up. I’d love to know what your thoughts are!
