24 hours to the Requiem

Oye Oye, the most longed-for statuette among the actors community is about to welcome with arms wide open some lucky cinematic hard-workers this Sunday Feb 28th at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Hollywood is going to be on fire this Saturday for three major reasons, and here's why you should not miss the Oscar night this year:

First of all, because Chris Rock, the most hilarious slash cynical comedian ever will be rocking the stage this year as a host, and when he does, you can never expect how humorous his speeches will be, especially the latter is extremely longing for the Oscar, where his last hosting was about ten years from now, and as a genuine proof, by the time the Academy announced his name as host for the 88th edition, he couldn't wait to not crack a joke, where he stated,

‘I'm Only Here Cause Ellen Said No’



Second of all, and as the majority of us know, the 88th edition has reached the crescendo earlier this year, the first scandal started with the leaking of some specific films, like: The revenant, Carol, Brooklyn..., then it followed later on with the announcement of the nominees, which caused a huge exasperation as a result of the absence of African American Actors for the second year in a row, the thing which led to an unexpected call from the formers. This annual event has been named as a boycott this year after the bold move the competent director Spike-Lee and the actress Jada Pinkett Smith made. however, let's wait and see if this surprising resolution will cause any big difference or stifle the joy we are expecting to live.


Last but not least, and According to my professional perspective, we are about to witness the most competitive night since forever, we will absolutely set eyes on some extraordinary exceptions for the first time ever. The entire cinematic world waits for the crucial moment of the misfortune's end of DiCaprio with damned golden statuette, yet, we may watch a unprecedented win for the impressive artist Emmanuel Lubezki, who's well-known for "Chivo", where he won two-time running the Oscar for best cinematographer, and if he does it this time, he will write his name with golden ink as the one and only artist who consecutively won three academy awards in the history.

Eventually, I can only advise you to buckle up cinephiles.
