On Tuesday, the OSCAR nominees were announced. For as long as I can remember, each year, Larry and I go to see all of the nominees for “Best Picture”…..then we plan a dinner around the awards ceremony. When Libby was still with us, she would get into the act. That sweet dog loved this Oscar dress best of all her costumes.

Over the past two years, we have missed our little tradition but we are looking forward to this year, the wonderful event and dinner. I love preparing the Oscar night menu and we also have little ballots showing how we voted.

Here is the list for 2022….

Best Picture Nominees

Belfast

Coda

Don’t Look up

Drive My Car

Dune

King Richard

Licorice Pizza

West Side Story

Nighmare Alley

The Power of the Dog

Larry and I have seen four of the movies, Tuesday night on Netflix, we watched, The Power Of The Dog. What an amazing movie that is and we would not have watched it if it had not been on the Best Picture List! (even thought I am a huge Kirsten Dunst Fan)

That is why Larry and I see all of the nominated movies. Even if the movie does not appeal to us, we watch it all the way through and it gives us the experience that we might have missed.

It has been such a long couple of years. There was a time when I took going to the movies for granted. Larry and I had been married almost one year when Grease was released in June, 1978. I think that we saw it twice at the theater that summer and that started our obsession for the movies.

Have you seen any of the nominated movies? I think that our next movie will be Nightmare Alley. Have you seen it?

Have the best day.

Love you. Me.
