The ceremony for the 95th edition of the Academy Awards is tomorrow, and once again I'm joined by Jim Batcho of the Movies About podcast for an in-depth discussion of this year's nominees. In this episode we focus mainly on the 10 Best Picture nominees. Consider this like 10 different reviews / analyses of each of the nominees. We also discussed some of the other categories of interest, gave our thoughts on who would and should win, and I gave my list of what I thought were the ten best films of 2022. Be sure to check out Now It's Dark on YouTube for visual essays and more @nowitsdarkmovie. Also, for access to full episodes and our entire back catalogue, head on over to our patreon.com/nowitsdark.
