It’s not always easy watching the Oscars. You might not have seen all the movies. (I haven’t seen them all). You might want to check out who’s on the list and maybe watch trailers of those movies to get an understanding of some of the dynamic of the movies. Here are some tips courtesy of the Academy as well as ABC.
