Happy Oscar Sunday! As an avid movie lover, this is one of my favorite weekends to binge watch and enjoy so many incredible films that were released this past year. As always, I love making my picks for the Oscar winners. “A Star is Born” stole my heart with its vulnerable performances (looking at you, Bradley Cooper) as well as its poignant portrayal of mental health issues. Although some of these may not be the “favourite” picks to win (pun intended), here are the films whose performances really spoke to me this year. Without further ado, here are my Oscar picks for 2019!
