T-1 week until The Oscars and I realized that I had seen none of the Best Picture nominees. I did my best to remedy that this weekend and now I’m down to three (considering that I will not watch 1917). Favorite so far is Jojo Rabbit, but I also enjoyed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood more than anticipated. I would say that a week gives me plenty of time to watch three movies, but it’s also a packed music week and you know what will win out there.  As for top picks we’ve got Dermot Kennedy, Mondo Cozmo, The Rescues and a few opportunities to get sneak peaks at SXSW picks Ryan McMullan, Almost Monday and Begonia.
