There are a lot of categories at the Academy Awards. Many of them you are familiar with–Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress–and some you may not be–Best Sound Editing, Best Live Action Short Film, Best Production Design. There were some worries that the Oscars were cutting out some of their categories, but that is not actually happening (thank goodness). But I think that the Oscars should actually have some MORE categories. So, here for you now, are the Grace Awards for this year’s films:
