Week 11

2024 Oscars In Memoriam

Last year, following the Oscars our challenge was to watch a movie featuring the talents of someone from the Oscars In Memorium last. This week, we’d like to continue that tradition.

Every year we lose a lot of talented individuals who’s acting, writing, vision and craft all leave a lasting mark through the movies we watch. When we hear the news, we often think “I’ve not seen this film they made” or “I’d love to rewatch this film”, we don’t always have the opportunity, and that’s why I’d like to run this challenge every year. You can find a full list of at https://www.oscars.org/about/memoriam
