Image via ew.com HTGAWM shattered a lot of hearts with its mid season finale which included the death of a very beloved character. I still can't come to terms with the fact that Wes actually is dead. Here's a quick run down of what went down in the last few episodes. Laurel & Wes started a romantic relationship, someone blew up Annalise's house, Laurel was in the house when it blew up and she's pregnant with Wes' baby, WES DIED, Annalise was arrested for arson and is a prime suspect for Wes' death, Oliver wiped Annalise's phone before she got arrested and Frank is back! "We're Bad People" begins with a flash back of Annalise watching Wes play football with Meggy and this brings back memories of Wes playing football as a child. It's a flashback within a flashback. In the present day, Annalise gets transferred to jail giving me some  Orange is the New Black  vibes. Bonnie visits Laurel in the hospital and tells her that Wes ha...

Image via google.com The mid season finale ended with Harvey telling Donna that he was going to be okay after Jessica left. "She's Gone" continued from where the last episode left of with a Donna and Harvey (#Darvey) dream which I honestly thought was real for a few seconds until I realized it could only be a dream. I knew that the writers wouldn't rush through something so important. That scene was such a tease but at least we know it'll happen sometime in the future. Harvey definitely has very strong feelings for Donna which he probably doesn't want to get into at the moment. Robert Zane offers his daughter Rachel a job at his firm so she'll have a better chance at passing the character and fitness portion of the Bar but Rachel declines telling him she can't abandon her work family at Pearson Specter Litt when they need her the most. Mike hops back on his bike looking for a job at different legal clinics but he comes to term with the fact that n...

Moonlight has 8 nominations including best picture and best director. Arrival ties with Moonlight with 8 nominations including sound, cinematography and production design.

Theatrical Release Poster Based on the book of the same name by Margot Lee Shetterly, Hidden Figures is about three African American women who worked for NASA and contributed to space travels in the early 1960's. I had never heard about Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan & Mary Jackson before this movie and I was excited to see that these women who a lot of people haven't heard about were being the focus of a major motion picture film. The three best friends worked for NASA at a time where racial segregation was still very common in the United States. NASA used these women as their human computers and paid less. Mary and Katherine are taken away for a temporary assignment while Dorothy who wants the position of supervisor stays in charge of the African American female computers.  Still of Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer & Janelle Mon áe ( Image via imdb.com ) Mary is eventually able to become an Engineer after taking classes in an all white school, Dor...
