My Oscar Picks by Angela M. Ortíz

The 94th academy awards has come and gone. And I don’t think it meant to be so unforgettable. But we won’t dwell on that here. My only focus was on the honored films released in 2021.

Ariana DeBose, West Side Story

Here, we just want to have a little fun in seeing how many of the honorees we got correct. Because we love movies of all genre’s and hope you do too. Back in February, we posted our first choices and runner ups for movies, documentaries, and animations. You can check them out here.

Below are our picks. The ones in red, are the ones we got correct.

Then the official Academy winners list follows.

We congratulate all the nominees and winners. And until next year. Now back to watching movies.
