Award Season is Over, Now Here’s What is Actually Worth a Watch

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Endicott chapter.

Your Sundays nights are now cleared up because the months of the 2019-2020 award season have wrapped up. Even though four actors basically sweeped all the award shows, there are still tons of movies that were talked about whether they were or were not nominated. It can be overwhelming where you feel as if you are drowning in your watchlist. But here are the movies that either I have watched and feel are worth it compared to others or just ones that I am prioritizing watching over others.
