Hollywood had its big night last night as the 90th Academy Awards took place in downtown Hollywood at the Dolby Theatre.  Some good nominations this year and some were a toss up between two clear choices.  But some great wins especially for "Shape of Water" which was well deserved!  So happy for Guillermo del Toro as he is a great director with an incredible vision.  But some good wins overall except the best song.  Out of all them I think "This is Me" should have gotten it over the song from "Coco."  The performances at the Oscars for the "Coco" song was kind of terrible to be honest.  But oh well, not always the best wins.

Weekly Update:
Finally got some rain again this week but very little.  What is weird is the wind!  We tend to have two windy type seasons which are generally October and around April-ish.  But I have to say this past year its been about once or twice a month of heavy winds.  This is not normal for us at all and definitely a sign of something wrong with our overall environment.  Our rainy season has gotten way less and now this.  More warmer days than before and the year has only just begin.  Science isn't a myth and global warming is real ... the theory has been proven over and over folks.

At the movies:
Big night tonight as the 90th Annual Academy Awards will start very soon.  But the outcome will surely ripple a bit at the box office over the next couple of weeks.  Till then, let's check out this past weekend box office numbers.  Still holding ground at #1 is "Black Panther" with another 65.7 million and now hitting 500 mil cume domestic.  Still on track to break 600 mil but will be the long game for that.  New at #2 is Red Sparrow with 17 mil and slightly below expectations.  New at #3 is Death Wish with 13.1 mil and close to expectations.  Slight drop to #4 is "Game Night" with 10.7 mil as it hops along.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Peter Rabbit" with another 10 mil and a pretty good hold at that.
