I loved A Star is Born, but now that the Oscar frenzy is over, I'm not sure whether the film will stand the test of time or will just be a gem of the 2010s, I'm glad for its success but then again, it was a directorial debut and a star-making role, so it's not like Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga had jeopardized everything in this film, they had more to win than to lose... Cooper, as an actor, knew how to inject great "acting" moments and Gaga and her teams knew how to make Oscar-worthy song, so the film worked well because it was well done but not that transcending... the hardest part was over with the "skeleton" of the original story.

Washerstians celebrate "Deja Vu Days" to commemorate two early meetings of the Dickinson Organization of Poetry Enthusiasts (DOPE). The first meeting took place on November 2, 1871, and the second meeting occurred one week later on November 9th.

May I suggest just three minor edits to the intro? (in bed below; the first is just an apostrophe at the end of "movie-goers")
Movie-goers' déjà vu experience the past two years with Best Picture Oscar-nominated films Little Women (2019) and A Star Is Born (2018) has become an annual tradition. That tradition is likely to continue this year with West Side Story (2020). Oscar-worthy déjà vu films, like Cleopatra and My Fair Lady, potentially could keep that trend going, if pre-production starts soon. Currently, the total sets of Best Picture nominated movies based on the same story stands at eight. A notable mark for an award ceremony that for over ninety-two years has demonstrated an aversion to reboots, remakes and sequels.

No official Deja Vu 2023 Oscar Best Picture nominees. Although the 2023 Best Picture sequels, Top Gun: Maverick & Avatar: The Way of Water followed the same formula plots set-up by the original, it felt at times like the same movie.
