I was told its not all about winning

Is everyone really a winner?

It’s not all about winning, what counts is taking part and having fun! We've all heard that at some stage of our life. I wonder is it different when you are older and put 10 times more work into winning what do you think? For example the 2015 Oscars are on tonight the 22nd of February and this evening there will be happy and sad faces but at the end of the day everyone is a winner ... i think not! Imagine putting sweat blood and tears into something and being told "not good enough" that's clearly discouraging right? I'm not saying getting to the Oscars and not winning isn't amazing it really is a great achievement but being so close to winning first place in a race and setting a new record but being one second off betting the record. Yes you achieved something (1st place) but failed at the same time. That is what i think it’s like being nominated for an Oscar. Ok i know losing isn't the end of the world but in such a big competition it would be a shame.

At 11.30 on sky movies and sky live the Oscars will be playing and every person watching will be supporting either an actor or an actress something else like a movie or singer but fandoms (is that a real word? well it is in our generation so ill use it!) all across the world will be disappointed and overwhelmed.

There are several movies for an Oscar under the category "best picture" they are American Sniper, Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Imitation Game, Selma, The Theory of Everything and whiplash. Tonight one will be named the best picture of 2015 and everybody who took part in the other movies will snobbishly congratulate the cast and team.

Want me say who i want to win? Well i cant because I’ve only seen whiplash and yes i loved the story line and thought it was an amazing movie but I’ve heard some great things about all the movies up for the award so i believe it’s an even playing field.

Whiplash is about a first year music student, Andrew Neiman (Miles teller) who wins a seat on a jazz band. He sits behind the drums seeking respect from the teacher, Fletcher (J.K. Simmons) that teaches the band using fear and intimidation to push them to be pure perfection. The story line kicks off when Fletcher is shown to be abusive toward his students, mocking and insulting them! It all begins when he hurls a chair at Andrew for not keeping his tempo, and humiliates him in front of the class.
