When I first watched Wicked in the cinema last year, I enjoyed it but wasn’t completely loving it. Watching it at home I found a new appreciation and must say that I do really like it. Love the cast, the music, the sets! It received two Oscars, Best Achievement in Production Design and Best Achievement in Costume Design.

Okay I’ll be honest, this isn’t a bad film but I don’t quite understand why it received so many Oscars. A couple I can understand but I’m definitely not sure I would have voted for Anora for Best Picture. It also received the Oscars for Best Director, Best Actress in a Leading Role for Mikey Madison, Best Original Screenplay and Best Achievement in Film Editing.

Another film that I haven’t heard anyone talk about. Which is a shame, it’s a beautiful picture. Heartbreaking and surprising and understated and powerful and beautiful. Women Talking is definitely one I would recommend. It received the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Somehow I hadn’t actually seen The Barefoot Contessa yet. I quite enjoyed it! It’s not your typical story or way of storytelling. Plus I really like Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner, true legends. It received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

I can’t believe it took me so long to watch Dune. I heard a lot of good things and I can only agree. Great cast, all the visuals are just stunning, epic music, really really good! Very much looking forward to part 2. Dune received six Oscars: Best Sound, Best Achievement in Visual Effects, Best Achievement in Production Design, Best Music-Original Score, Best Film Editing and Best Cinematography.

Everything Everywhere All at Once. I had no idea what to expect, which is probably a good thing. There is so much happening and at the same time nothing is really happening, and yet it’s interesting. I don’t know how to explain it. Not a new favorite but I did really enjoy it. The rocks were especially comical. Would definitely recommend this Best Picture winner. It also received the Oscar for Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Film Editing.

Okay, I was afraid that this one would not live up to the hype. But I have to admit, Top Gun Maverick really is a great film and a terrific sequel (which is quite rare). Excellent job casting Miles Teller as Goose’s son, he really looks like he could be related to Anthony Edwards. Really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it! Top Gun Maverick received the Oscar for Best Sound for Mark Weingarten, James Mather, Al Nelson, Chris Burdon & Mark Taylor.
