I started a new series this month called Did They Get it Right? where each day I post a new year of Oscar nominees for a category and analyze the choices.  I’ve started with The Best Original Song Category and have already posted 16 different years so far.  I’ll be continuing through that category during most of May and then I’ll hopefully start with some of the acting categories.

Let me know what you think of this series!

There was no Genre grandeur in April, but May’s Genre has been chosen by Damien of Riley Central. We will be reviewing our favorite Adventure Movies.

Please get me your submissions by the 25th of May by sending them to damienadventure@movierob.net  Try to think out of the box! Great choice Damien!

Thanks again to one and all for your participation.

-Rob
