My Oscars: 2017

“The Oscars are my Super Bowl.” I have used to these words to describe the impact of the awards show on my life on an annual basis. They aren’t always right, but they are entertaining regardless. I have had so much fun being a spectator to the show, I figured I would start my own series where I break down my picks and reveal my own Oscars for each year. Without further ado, here is 2017.
