Re: 2024 Academy Awards Poll!
I'm sorry to miss our Academy Awards poll this time, but Maria is the only nominated film I have seen. First time this happened, but I just wasn't interested in most new films in 2024.

I'm also watching Abbott and Costello horror flicks. Films aren't great, but their antics are still funny.
