Hello, Everyone!

Thanks for all the support over the past week or so as I marathoned the BP nominees and made myself vulnerable to mockery when I posted my Oscar picks! I didn’t do too bad this year with my predictions. I should have gone with my gut and picked Get Out for Best Original Screenplay, but The Shape of Water‘s win for BP was a little surprising with all the previous success of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, so I don’t regret my guess for BP too much. I’m not too thrilled that The Shape of Water has joined our BP family, but we won’t be seeing it again for almost a year, so I won’t worry about it right now. The next BP we will deal with is a big one: The Godfather (1972). I’m taking a short blog break this week to recover from Oscar mania and reevaluate the status of the ever-present thesis, but then I’ll be back and we’ll dive right into the drama of the Corleone family.

Best regards,

Sarah
