I don’t know about you, but whenever the Oscars come around each year, I get excited. And usually, I haven’t even seen most of the movies!

This year is no exception. I haven’t seen one movie up for Best Picture – not one!

What I love about the Academy Awards is that even if you haven’t seen all of the movies, it’s still fun to get a group together and watch all of the celebrities and the show itself.
