Oscars 2020!

~~~~AND IT'S MOVIE TIME!!~~~~

This year, the Academy gave us movie fiends only a short few weeks to catch the nominees before the big show, and of course I can't plan out a nail design without watching it, so I've done pretty much nothing but films recently.  As always, there were some snubs, some gems, some WTF moments, and I did my annual capture of Best Picture nominees in nail art.

This is the pile of plates and a few representative stamping polishes that went into this look - I'm not listing where everything came from, because this post would be a novel!

With only 9 nominees this year, one thumb was simply film itself.  I end up using this design a whole lot around this time of year!  And the nominees are:

Starting with my two absolute faves, on this hand index to pinky (L to R) we have:

• Parasite:  face with a black bar over the eyes à la the movie's poster
• JoJo Rabbit:  our tender little bunny over the military black & red of wartime Germany
• Marriage Story:  divided between golden palm tree'd California and New York as the Statue of Liberty
• Once Upon a Time in Hollywood:  antique golden California and Cliff's powder blue roadster

• Ford v Ferrari:  sportscar & checkered flag on Shelby blue 

And index to pinky (R to L) here we have:

• 1917:  the white church building in flames at night from the middle of the movie
• Little Women:  Jo March's inkwell & handwritten pages
• The Irishman:  bloodsplatter on a 70s golden tan wall, and the resulting handcuffs
• Joker:  bloody footprints down the white hallway (since the best part of that disaster was when it was over)

Hope you caught a few things worth watching!
