Movies the giraffe watched in 2019: February (23 movies items)"First viewing - Feb. 3rd How is this not up for any Oscars? At the very least John C.

My Way Too Early 2019 Oscar Predictions (19 movies items)"And the Nominees Could Possibly Be... *Black Panther *Mary Queen of Scots *Stan and Ollie One historical epic, one comic-book epic, and one biography of historical characters; a pretty great recipe for a Best Makeup Oscar category.
