Oscar Predictions 2018
With the nominations having been announced, the Oscar race has officially began. On March 4, the best and brightest of Hollywood will step onto the red carpet in all their finery and endure the relentless lights and cameras just to witness who will take home those coveted golden statues. With The Shape of Water leading the pack this year with 13 nominations, followed by Dunkirk with 8 and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri with 7, it’s sure to be a night full of deserving winners, and a few unexpected surprises. Maybe? But with only one month to go, here are my predictions for who will win in the top categories at the 90th Annual Academy Awards.

The Oscar for the Best Male Hair in TV and Film
I love hair. Specifically, beautiful hair on the heads of awesome characters. Hair makes a powerful impact on how a character is perceived and acts as subtle exposition for their personality.

Where to Watch Anime Online After Amazon Strike's Dissolution
Anime fans have been watching anime on the internet for decades. Even before it became legal, fans would stream anime through other means and this created a huge market for anime on the internet, with services like Netflix starting to take notice and offering anime to their subscriptions. But the anime streaming market may be shrinking a little bit, with the recent loss of the Amazon Strike service — a service run by Amazon for anime fans at a small subscription fee that offered prime members an additional exclusive catalog of anime titles. Just last year, Daisuki, a streaming service run by a Japanese cooperative company, also shuttered its service. Other than the major companies like Netflix and Amazon, where should anime fans get their anime fix?

Magic Trouble Shooting
What Is Magic (Vol. 1 Issue 1) Author Note: I originally wrote The Magic Trouble Shooting series in 2012 - 2014 and I left it alone. It was going to be sent to Richard Kaufman at Genii Magazine but I never got a response from Kaufman after pitching him the idea. My ideology and thoughts on magic have changed but I have not bothered updating - I want to leave the content of the series as it is as a benchmark to my own growth - I will probably revisit and the series with updates. Please enjoy and I'd love to receive feedback. Let's begin.

Move Over Belle And Cinderella, 'Wonder Woman' Could Be A Disney Princess!
The recent super heroine film, Wonder Woman, came out kicking and lasso swinging as it left satisfaction among its viewers. The blockbuster broke the traditional aesthetic surrounding comic book films, introducing a new way to save the world with your friends –– and while doing so, included a scene touched with a bit of inspiration from one of Disney's popular animated films, The Little Mermaid.

'What Should I Watch Now?!': First Edition
We've all been there: the show hole takes us into the darkest part of our brains and we think about all of the wrong that we've ever done in life and what the future holds and if the spider we killed was going back to its family before we squashed it.

Poor Fairy Tales With Valid Messages
A lot of fairy tales are obscure for a reason, and in the cases of these mentioned below, the obscurity is probably something to do with how poorly they executed otherwise genuine messages.

Top 6 Musicals and Songs
Not everyone can sing great, nor can they act or perform. But whether or not you are a musical theater geek or a choral nerd, these songs are some of the best songs that non-Broadway fans are sure to love. Some musicals on this list might be off-Broadway now or they may be still performing on Broadway. The music from these musicals may also be some of the best works written by their composers.

Since its debut, Marvel's Runaways has steadily built in quality and popularity. While some have derided the show as "Dawson's MCU," others have enjoyed Buffy-esque vibe and interesting take on what it means to be a powered young person.

10 Anime Not from Japan
It's true that we take something that we like and change it into something that we love, and regarding cartoons and anime, it's no different. Although some may not notice the Japanese influences, there are many western series that adopt the anime style, for example, Ben 10 and Gargoyles. The following shows and films adapt the tone and visual style of Japanese animation.
