Alright, let’s get straight to the point. The Oscars nominations will be announced next week.
I have been in a rush to get ready for Oscar night. Therefore, I studied the Golden Globes winners’ list for a clue of possible Oscar nominees.
The Descendants has become a favorite. Alexander Payne directed this film, known for his satire and dark humor. The Descendants made 1, 190, 096 dollars on its opening weekend. It rates at 89 percent at the Rotten Tomatoes, with an audience rating of 82 percent.
If nominated, Alexander Payne would be in the run for best screenplay and best picture. This film touches the hearts of the audience, with its authentic presentation of heartache, love, and relationships. The film revolves around a family tragedy. It’s about a family coming together for support and learning about each other.
This film falls under the categories of comedy and drama. However, I found myself in tears by the end of it. These characters are dealing with real emotions and concerns. Overall, I would recommend this films to those who like serious films and dark humor.
