The Oscars have been redeemed in my reel as “Green Book” has won best picture. A film that had deep artistic value and still was entertaining to the viewer unlike many of the competitors. “Green Book” also dealt with the issue of racial injustice in a way that all sides could relate to and come together to fight against. In truth the Oscars pretty much got it all right.
FROM CNN & I happy to report this isn’t fake news.
