Family Movie Reviews of Oscar Winners and Nominations
This was an unusual year for Oscar nominated films in that many were rated PG-13 and lower as opposed to R. That gave many families, especially those with teens, an opportunity to view more Oscar nominated films. We have reviews written especially for parents for many of the Oscar winners and nominations so you can plan an upcoming family movie night with an award winning title. As you view our reviews for these movies, also take the opportunity to tell us what you thought of the film by using our comment function found at the bottom of every review on our site. And now, the envelope please…
