Sunday is the 90th Academy Awards, so naturally I tried to think of the dumbest thing I could do to honor them. Truthfully, the Best Picture category is more stacked than it's been in my memory. Almost all of the most-honored movies are already classics, and they're a clear representation of the year's best in cinema. (Though I would have also preferred that The Florida Project, Killing of a Sacred Deer, and mother!were up there as well.) Still, it's been a great year for movies and good on the Oscars for recognizing that. So what if -- stay with me here -- we could see these movies as classic newspaper comic strips? Pretty good idea, right? So, I tried my best. I gave it my all. But I couldn't find a good way in for The Post. Sorry. Also there are someLIGHT SPOILERS.
