Søren and J’s Oscarcast 2015

by Søren Hough and J Rosenfield

https://filmfrontier.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/oscars-birdman1.jpg

2015 was a year of meager expectations when it came to the Oscars. While controversy surrounded the nomination process, we generally knew who’d take home the major awards. No one gasped in amazement when Birdman took Best Cinematography, or when Patricia Arquette was named Best Supporting Actress for Boyhood. Yet sometimes there is intrigue to be found […]

And don’t get me started on The Giver again. I […]

I made it to the theater just in time. As the clerk handed me my ticket, she said, “There may only be two or three seats towards the front.” So I sat down in the front row, made myself comfortable and uncapped my pen. If you see the film anytime soon, count on finding me in the […]
