Piercing Ken Thoughts: Right off the bat let me say how happy I was to see “Avengers: Endgame” winning their “Best Movie” award because more of my own demographic feels the same way. As of this writing, the film has clocked in more than $2.7 billion dollars but still has a bit of a way to go to beat “Avatar” for the Highest Grossing Film Of All Time. I hope it surpasses this but honestly the draw to the box office has been slow for the last couple of weeks. Speaking of “Avengers: Endgame”, they took Best Hero and Best Villain while the Best Fight went to the “Captain Marvel” film. I’ll allow it. That’s all I have for the moment and wonder what you readers think about these winners and if you would have liked someone else to win them. Chime in down below as its always great to hear from you.
