24 Top Blogs and Bloggers Who Deserve Academy Awards

Last updated on October 25th, 2019 at 01:30 am

In honor of the 84th Annual Academy Awards, I thought I would offer up who I think delivers some of the best blogs on the Internet similar to the Oscar-nominated categories.

When it comes to being a great blog, there are many factors to consider –

  • Does the blog look professional?
  • Does the blogger use spacing that makes the posts easy to read?
  • Is the content interesting?
  • Does the blogger have a “voice” and isn’t afraid to go against the norm?
  • Does the blogger link out to other websites and blogs?
  • Is the blog fascinating, interesting, hard to forget?
  • Is the blogger is currently blogging?
  • Does the blogger strive to be more, do more?

When the public discusses the Oscar-nominated movies, many are more upset by what films are left off the list over who is nominated. Art can be subjective, just like blogging and going after your dreams. People may not agree with what you are doing, but you have to live by your own terms and do what your heart calls you to do.

We have a variety of dreamers on 8 Women Dream for this reason. There are many paths in a dreamer’s life and no one person can tell another what path they should be on. These top blogs (and their bloggers) represent all the different ways dreamers live their dreams.

And the Oscar goes to …

On such a night as tonight, I felt that 8 Women Dream should honor those bloggers who consistently strive for excellence.

I think that people don’t realize just how much work goes into being a top blogger. Like any art, it is definitely a labor of love and deserves recognition to those who labor long into the wee hours of the morning to change readers’ perspectives with art in the form of a blog.

Congratulations to all who seek to make this world a more magical place. Keep on dreaming.

Catherine
