Cube Critics discuss the Oscars
The Academy Awards are Feb. 26. If you want to catch up on some of the nominated movies, here's a cheat sheet.
Looking for a movie to pull your heartstrings and make you cry? See "Lion," which is nominated for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. It stars Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman, who both got acting nods.
Do you feel like the economy is stacked against you? Maybe you will identify with Chris Pine and Ben Foster in Best Picture nominee "Hell or High Water." Jeff Bridges is a supporting actor nominee for his turn as a Texas Ranger working his last case.
Want a movie that can entertain the whole family? "Hidden Figures" works well for anyone over the age of 10. Bring your kids, parents or grandparents. It's the biggest crowd-pleaser of the nine Best Picture nominees.
Do you want to see the film that wins Best Picture before the Oscars? Oddsmakers place La La Land and Moonlight as the frontrunners.
If you want to make Euan Kerr happy, see "20th Century Women", the delightful dramatic comedy from Mike Mills that is nominated for Best Screenplay.
