Movie Reviews and Previews Amy Adams pre-Oscar Amy Adams will be at the Oscars on Sunday – as a presenter and not a nominee. She was considered one of the major “snubs” of the year.

Mel Gibson Not yet, Annette, not yet Amy Remember last year when Leonardo DiCaprio was on the award circuit for The Revenant how the storyline was all what a travesty it was that he didn’t have an Oscar.
