The 92nd Annual Academy Awards are fast approaching and the battle for Best Picture is a tough one. This time, a total of 9 films were nominated for the award out of a maximum of 10. The ceremony will take place on February 9th and it’ll be interesting to see which 2019 movie is named the best. Will the least hyped films like Parasite and Little Women beat the rest? It will no doubt depend on the criteria the judges use to make their choice....

In 2009, the History Channel premiered a television show about a Las Vegas pawn shop named the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop. The show, Pawn Stars, began something that the show’s creators were not expecting. They started an entirely new reality television genre. Antiques Roadshow, was the first but it did not have the support or popularity to be a leader.

One of the best parts of Parks and Recreation was Leslie and Ben’s relationship. The two start as rivals, with Ben wanting to cut Pawnee’s budget by letting a portion of the staff in the Parks Department go, resulting in Leslie despising Ben, and even viewing him as a rival. However, over time, the two put aside their differences and even fell in love. And let’s face it, from the get-go, the two had great chemistry....

As another year in film gets underway, we’re taking a look at possible Best Picture contenders for the 2021 Oscars. Considering how far away the 93rd Academy Awards are, it seems a bit foolish to be making predictions this early in the year. However, just by looking at films’ on-paper potential, it is possible to make semi-accurate picks long before anything screens.

Because let’s be real, it’s extremely hard to create fictional people that are compelling, relatable and make for top-notch narratives. Very often, the characters we see on television feel bland because they aren’t layered enough. And what’s more boring than someone who only falls into a single category, whether it’s the villain or the hero?...
