I am umming and ahhhing over the awards films this year. The Oscar nominations are out on Tuesday so I am waiting till then but I imagine this will get several nominations, if nothing else for Meryl Streep because she always get nominated. Traditionally the nominated films are less blockbuster/entertaining films and more drama/true story which is fine (there have been some cracking films over the last couple of years) but would you want to see them at the cinema. I am tempted to go and see some of them like The Shape of Water because I can get in free but there is still the cost of parking and sweets and drinks etc. I think I'll wait till Tuesday and then come back and make a list of cinema films and films which will be acquired through alternative means. I fancy seeing The Post because I love Tom Hanks and similarly Roman J. Israel, Esq. because of Denzel Washington.
