PAUL PREDICTS THE 2017 OSCAR NOMINEES It’s that time of the year again. The Oscar nominations arrive in the early hours of Tuesday, January 24th. Once again, I am participating in a “Guess the Nominees” contest for fellow blogger Shane over at his website, Film Actually. Here are my picks for who may hear their name called on nomination morning. Don’t be surprised if you hear La La Land mentioned over and over. I have it down for 14 nominations. That may be a bit excessive, but it sure is getting all of the buzz. Moonlight and Manchester By the Sea should both do veryRead More →

ZOOTOPIA Director: Byron Howard, Rich Moore, Jared Bush Starring: Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Jenny Slate, Idris Elba, Bonnie Hunt, Don Lake, Tommy Chong, J.K.
