In spirit of the Oscars (which I will not be watching this year because I am not a Chris Rock fan and they will only tick me off like they did last year) I am giving my own nominations and winners for the major categories (as well as making my own categories up!). Last year the Rachies were all animation. This year since I saw so many more films I expanded it. So if I ran the world this is how it would all go down!

My congrats to all the nominees and winners. 🙂
I think one other category that would be neat in addition to Best Kiss would be Best Chemistry! May have to resurrect the Awards thing I did on my still-there-but-oft-forgotten blog, I think I had Chemistry on there, would for 2015 just for Lily James and Richard Madden alone! I do remember having vocal performance on there, I think I deleted the 2014 post because it aged itself after I saw a few other movies from that year.
Oh good one! I love it.

Who needs the Oscars? Over on my movie blog I present The Rachies. What I would nominate and win (including some of my own categories) as best of 2015. I think you will enjoy the post if you check it out.
I somehow missed this post. Interesting nominees. I don’t see enough films in the year they come out to do my own awards show, but this is great.
Best Kiss award? Interesting. I think The Notebook and Aladdin kisses are my fave cinematic kisses.
Yeah I was just trying to have some fun with my own categories. Those are definitely good kisses
