xceptional restoration of actual World War I footage using the actual participants in a way no actor could duplicate. As interesting as the restored footage is the 30 min follow-on piece about the decisions used in the restoration and the painstaking efforts to ‘get it right’.
Nail-biting documentary of the no-ropes climbing of El Capitan in Yosemite. Well-earned Best Documentary Oscar.
Surprisingly, a fun addition to the original, reprising a few things but with all new songs beautifully done.
Ken Follett masterpiece of World War I history told from the POV of English coal miners and aristocrats, Russian peasants, and American diplomats.
Slow slice of life of a centered Mexican maid moving through a chaotic world. Many Oscars for no reason I could agree with.
Excellent family entertainment, but short on some plot and character points and a bit long on some actions sequences. Nichole Kidman and Jason Momoa were fun to watch.
Psudeo-documentary of Dick Cheney political career and his role in the Iraq war.
Brandon Sanderson’s futuristic fighter pilots battle aliens who’ve constrained humanity to a single planet that the human space fleet once crashed on.
Excellent addition to the Star Wars films. More story and character interest than other performances and history.
Wonderfully complex animated film. Best Animated Feature Film Oscar by a long shot. No one but Miyazaki’s work and a few Pixar and Laika films are the same league.
