In years past, I had the tradition of watching all the relevant Oscar-nominated movies, forming my own winners and posting the results in long, boring blog posts before the actual ceremony takes place. As fun as that was (for me, and me alone), I found an inescapable trend: the nominees were getting worse every year and my passion to pick a winner waned accordingly.
This year, once again, I've watched all the movies and have reached a breaking point. I simply don't care anymore. And I take no pleasure in making increasingly hostile diatribes about how the Academy has lost its mind. So I'm not going to subject anyone to that anymore.
If you're curious what my favorite movie of 2018 is, it's "Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot". DWHWGFoF was not nominated for anything, as far as I know, and it didn't get incredible reviews. As far as I can tell, the big criticism of it is that it's "Oscar bait". I find that term problematic most of the time and I completely disagree with it in this case. If you're looking for a good drama, I highly recommend it.

Game Grumps - Painting with Bob Ross
I think, aside from the fact that they have none of the materials and have done none of the preparation necessary to do a Bob Ross painting, it turns out pretty well.

Thanos Has A Great Plan
The stupid imdb 250 made me watch Infinity War so now I'm posting this.
Warning: spoilers.
It really has got to the point where every big comic book movie makes it to the imdb 250. Oh how nice it would be nice if the people voting on imdb were actually fans of cinema first and fans of comic books second rather than the other way around. The Fast and the Furious series are a HUGE franchise and beloved by lots of people but people keep those in perspective; I never see those movies making the list.
What we need is more DC fan boys. The DC fans downvote Marvel, Marvel downvotes DC and the world achieves harmony. That's the key: balance. Things that are balanced are harmonious. Perhaps if we deleted half of all imdb users...
