Here are all (well, most) (look, I didn’t have time to see ALL of them) (I was too busy watching Venom<\/em> seven times) of the 2019 Oscar noms described in lines from Shakespeare.<\/p>\n Black Panther<\/strong> Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/strong> A Star is Born<\/strong> The Favourite<\/strong> BlacKkKlansman<\/strong> Bohemian Rhapsody<\/strong> Incredibles 2<\/strong> If Beale Street Could Talk<\/strong> RBG<\/strong> Mirai<\/strong> Green Book<\/strong> Roma<\/strong> Vice<\/strong> Ralph Breaks the Internet<\/strong> Isle of Dogs<\/strong> The Oscars are coming up, and with them the dawning realization that you have seen maybe two of the films.
