Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I was super busy with homework and then the Oscars were on and that was more important lol. Anyways, enjoy this chapter!

"I don't understand what the big deal is," Regina said, handing Emma the large bowl of popcorn that she had just made. "It's just a show where celebrities get rewarded for doing well with their jobs."

"It's an award for being the best in your field," Emma said. "It's actually a huge honor to win one of these. It means that you're the best of the year."

"But isn't it their job to be the best anyway?" Regina asked.

Henry groaned. "You're overthinking this. They get an award for it and it inspires them to keep doing well. Plus it inspires everyone hoping to be an actor someday to win one themselves."

Regina sighed. "I don't understand this world."

"And you never will," Emma said, chuckling. "Trust me, it only gets more confusing from here. There's also awards just for TV shows and music."

"Why?" Regina asked.

"Same reason," Emma said. "Inspiration and the encouragement to continue going after your passions."

"Okay shush," Henry said. "It's starting!"

"Did you just shush your mothers?" Regina asked.

Henry smiled sheepishly. "I love you."

Regina and Emma laughed. The family fell into a comfortable silence as the Oscars began, starting out with awards right away.

"I haven't seen a lot of these movies," Regina said. "Does that mean we should see them?"

Emma nodded. "Depending on what ones win. The ones that win the most are probably your best bet for a good movie to watch."

"Unless they leave out the good movies and put in ones that don't deserve all of their nominations," Henry grumbled.

"True," Emma said. She nudged Regina gently before pointing to Henry. "Be careful of that one. He has very strong opinions."

Regina laughed. "Wonder who he got that from."

"Neal," Emma said. "Definitely Neal."

Henry and Regina both laughed. "As if," Henry said. "If I got it from either of you, it was totally you Ma. You have pretty strong opinions."

"I do not," Emma protested. She turned her attention back to the show just as the award for Best Original Song was being awarded.

Emma and Henry both groaned at the winner, and Regina just laughed at their responses. "What's so wrong with this soundtrack?"

"It's not catchy," Emma said. "You need to have a movie that has music that people want to sing in the car. I don't want to sing this music in the car, or at all."

"Yeah, definitely not opinionated at all," Henry said.

Emma reached forward and ruffled his hair, earning the protest that she was looking for. Henry smoothed down his hair before grabbing a handful of popcorn and throwing it at Emma, surprisingly not getting any on Regina.

"Now you're asking for it," Emma said, picking the popcorn out of her hair. "You better run."

"You don't scare me," Henry scoffed, eating a handful of popcorn.

Regina chuckled. "That's enough, both of you. Eat your popcorn in peace and enjoy the show, otherwise I'll turn it off and get rid of the snacks."

Henry and Emma both turned their attention back to the TV, every once in a while glancing at each other.

Regina rolled her eyes. "I swear I have two children."

"You know you love me," Emma said, leaning over to kiss Regina on the cheek.

"I do," Regina agreed. "Now shush and watch your show. It looks like they're about to announce Best Picture."

Henry and Emma both leaned forward towards the TV, waiting anxiously to see who would win. There was only one movie that they didn't want to win, so they were supporting every other movie.

Once the winner was announced, Emma and Henry both groaned and sat back. Of course the only one they hadn't wanted to win had actually won.

"Well, that's a wrap," Emma said, standing up and brushing more popcorn off of her. "Guess we're stuck with-"

"Ma look!" Henry exclaimed, pointing at the TV. "The announcer had the wrong card! That's not the movie that won!"

"No way," Emma said. "That hasn't happened before, has it?"

"I don't know, all I know is that an actual deserving movie won the title!" Henry exclaimed.

Regina sighed as Emma and Henry high-fived. "So opinionated."

For those of you who didn't watch the Oscars, there was a mix up with the award for Best Picture, and my reaction was literally Henry and Emma. I hated La La Land. As a person who loves musicals, I was disappointed. I haven't seen "Moonlight" but I'm glad they won!
