Word on the Street: What movie should win an Oscar?

Whether you are an avid movie-goer, a film fanatic or you use the Academy Awards as an excuse to drink champagne and judge the best dressed, the annual showcase attracts us all. This year, critics found plenty of films worthy of praise. But what does the Academy know? We want to hear what you think in time for the award show on March 4.  

Staff writer Amelia Keesler asked UNC students, “What movie should win an Oscar?” 

Sophomore Wyndham Williamson 

Journalism major 

"'I, Tonya' because it tells the story of a person who was misrepresented by journalists in order to paint the picture of a perfect world.”

Sophomore Evan Colby 

Classics and Linguistics major 

“'Star Wars: The Last Jedi.'” 

---

Sophomore Emma Rolader 

Advertising and Public Relations major 

“'Lady Bird' should win an Oscar. I think it is your traditional coming-of-age movie. They pick different aspects of the coming-of-age story and portray it in a tasteful way that has a slight feminist feel.”

Political Science major 

“'Dunkirk.'”

Sophomore Bea Huffines 

Business Administration major 

“'Dunkirk.' They did an incredible job of portraying the unfathomable fear that the men must have felt while also keeping you captivated with beautiful beach scenes and Harry Styles’ face.”
