Bright and early this morning, the Academy Awards announced the nominees for the 2019 Oscars, with the help of "The Big Sick" star Kumail Nanjiani and "Black-ish" star Tracee Ellis Ross (in between bantering about the absurdly early hour and their thoughts on breakfast).

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
