So, After 100 movies in one year. and out of 18 categories that I could have predicted from I got 5 right. I did not even get half right.... but it's was one of the best things I could have ever done in my life. It helped me do things by own way. To think and process stuff better. To see how other watch the films and why what I wanted to win couldn't or didn't win. Movies are a way to help to understand the world around us and see it in different ways than we would have thought to look at ourselves.
