There’s scant time to binge all those Oscar-nominated films before Sunday’s Academy Awards broadcast.
A film buff from Oklahoma City, Elyssa Mann has scant time to waste, needing to cross just four more movies off her Oscars list before Sunday’s Academy Awards broadcast: Two animated films, one for cinematography and another for costume design.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, Steve Tornello has just one left – the latest „Avatar“ – before he can fairly judge all 10 of the best picture nominees.
In the perfect multiverse, time would bend to allow movie fans to watch anything anywhere, all at once. But in the real world, not the googly eyed one, time keeps ticking and that makes things difficult for diehard film enthusiasts hoping to fill every bracket in their personal Oscars scoresheets.
„I have four Oscars movies left in my quest to watch all the ones nominated for picture/acting/craft etc,“ Mann wrote in a tweet, „and this somehow feels insurmountable.“
As it is, Sunday morning’s time change (don’t forget to spring forward) will mean an hour less to binge.
„I am a person who thrives under pressure, like I need the deadline. So it’s good that it’s here,“ Mann, a 31-year-old marketer, said during a phone call. „Now I have to watch them.“
She’ll watch two or three Saturday, and save whatever’s left for Sunday before the ceremony.
