The 2020 award season is coming to an end. After watching actors and directors accept their Golden Globes, SAG awards, and even People’s Choice awards, It’s time for the biggest award show of the year. The Oscars 2020 will be taking place on February 9th, 8 p.m.. On this night all of the biggest stars in Hollywood will be gathered in one place to celebrate the most prestigious award that anyone in the film industry can win. We will get to watch some amazing categories such as Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Makeup Artist, etc. The most iconic of these categories, however, is Best Picture.
The Academy has selected the nine best movies of the year, and we will all get to witness which one takes home the crown of “best.” These movies can range from drama to comedy. PG to Rated R. For North Greenville students it can be difficult to decide which movies to actually watch. The sons and daughters of preachers, worship leaders, and congregation members would never want to watch something that will make them uncomfortable. Here are the Academy Award Nominated films, that North Greenville Students can watch without fear.

Ford v Ferrari is an American sports drama starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale. Set in 1963, auto designer Carroll Shelby and partner Ken Miles work together to build the greatest sports car in the world for Ford Motor Company, as a way to try and defeat rival car company Ferrari in the 1966 Le Mans. This movie is rated PG-13 for language and peril. If you don’t mind language and some intense scenes, this is the perfect film for any North Greenville Student.
Calm down! Yes this is a movie about Hitler. But it’s not what you think! Jojo Rabbit is a hilarious comedy about a young Hitler youth who finds out his mother is hiding a young Jewish girl in their attic. He struggles with his beliefs and begins to question his loyalty to the Nazi party, this causes his imaginary friend to intervene. Oh, and did I mention that his imaginary friend is Adolf himself? This movie is Rated PG-13 for mature theme, violence, and language. I would definitely do a bit of research before watching this film, just to make sure it is the kind of film that you want to see.
Little Women is a 2019 retelling of the classic novel by American writer Louisa Alcott. You may recognize this title in film however, from the 1994 film of the same name. This PG- rated film tells the tale of Jo March, an author in the 1860’s. Jo looks back on her and her three sister’s childhoods, growing up in Massachusetts, and how it shaped their lives. This film is great for the whole family, rated PG for brief smoking and thematic elements.
