In case you missed some of the movies nominated for Best Picture, here they are as acted out by pugs.
As you can see, I did awful. How did you do?
Leave it to Hollywood to pick a story about a washed up actor instead of excellent movies that not only have superb acting but real life meaningful
situations and people.
I’m not a fan of Birdman. Boyhood or The Grand Budapest Hotel should have won.
