In this new world of brutal campaigning, a lack of diversity, and Oscar bait films, it seems as though true art is being squandered in the ceremony.

When you are a child, anything is possible. You feel like the whole world is at your fingertips, grazing all the opportunities that are illuminated in front of you. Up until you are certified an adult (age ranges may vary,) wide eyed dreaming is everything to you.
