This is it, it all comes down to this. The Oscars are in mere days and, frankly, this might stand as one of the more unpredictable Oscars in recent memory. In the acting categories, there was no sweeper who won all the major awards (SAG, BAFTA, Critics Choice, Golden Globe). That hasn’t happened since 2002….

Eden (Ilana Glazer) plays the single and impulsive best friend to Dawn (Michelle Buteau). Dawn is…
I have to admit that Flannery O’Connor is a writer I’ve heard of, but not really delved into.

The past is far more haunting than any apparition. Directed by Christian Sparkes, Sweetland tells the story of Moses (Mark Lewis Jones), a man who has lived in Newfoundland his entire life.
