* Thanks to a reader question, we ask who will “NO DOUBT” win an Oscar before their life has ended.  Guess who we came up with?

* Another question from a reader has us asking, if there was a “straight 10” every year, would there have been a film that would have made the lineup and had the possibility to win Best Picture?

* We get into another rehash about why “Moonlight” beat “La La Land” at the Oscars.

* Circuit Madness results are in and it’s a doosy!
