The Oscar Cheat codes: “5 Steps to become an Oscar expert in office”
Office water cooler/ cafeteria chit chat can be a real torrid time if you know nothing about the hottest topic under discussion. 50% of the people in that group are speaking only to sound cool, 30% know snippets about the event/topic, 15% actually make sense and their debate holds some weight and the one guy…
The “Room” Review and Oscar Predictions
