Hello, everyone!
One of the biggest days for movies in the year was yesterday, the Oscars! Also known as the Academy Awards, this has been going for 92 years honoring and awarding movies for their accomplishments through the last year. As a tradition on this blog (I don't know why I started it) each year I have posted the results (along with pictures of my favorite outfits) in case anyone was wondering about the results.
Disclaimer: Even though I am putting these here, it does not mean that I support or want to watch these movies. I am just here to tell you who won.

Comment: Why was Tom Hanks nominated for Supporting Actor? I haven't seen the movie, but I thought that he was the main person in that movie.
Oh, and one of my favorite moments was when he had been talking about the Academy Museum they are working on he ended with, "I am Spartacus!" honoring Kirk Douglas.

My thoughts: Of all of these I've only seen
Little Women, but the costumes were really great!
You might have noticed something different about my blog. I have a new header! I really like my old one and you'll be seeing it again, but for February I have this one. My sister made it for me! I love how it shows people hugging. It only has one romantic one (from
Emma) and I really like how the rest are hugs between best friends and parental figures.
Now it's your turn! What do you think of the results and of the outfits I posted? Thanks for reading!
