ask you this question.
Do film critics like yourself actually get excited about the Oscars?
I have a love-hate relationship with the Oscars.
I mean, I've watched I think probably almost every single Oscar since I was a child.
I often spend the entire time cursing at the screen and speed dialing friends and then cheering wildly when one of my favorite movies wins something,
you know?
So the Oscars are terrible unless they're right, which means unless they pick my movies, you know?
From The New York Times, I'm Michael Bobaro.
This is The Daily on Sunday.
The 98th annual Academy Awards are one week from today.
Of the untold hundreds of films that were released in the United States last year,
some 50 or so are nominated for Oscars.
And according to critics and industry insiders, those movies are uncommonly good.
