Howdy everyone and welcome to Popped.blog where today is the big day for Oscars!
Goodluck to those voting / participating, this is my second year to get into the Oscars after seriously committing to “reviewing” movies. When 2024 Oscars came around and I watched 1/10 of the Best Pictures. I knew something had to change haha. By the way, that movie was Barbie. I purchased Oppenheimer and still to this day have yet to watch it…. hopefully by time Oscars 2025 starts I would have :S?….. Yea still haven’t opened the Blu-ray up to watch it :p maybe by 2026…
That being said, let’s have fun and all the love for everyone voting differently to what I place. May we have fun and have enjoyed awesome content along the way.
