Plus, you can follow him at ryanmcquade77 on Twitter and make him one of your go to awards experts like we do. As for part one, we open things up with a discussion on the potential impact of the fall film festivals on the upcoming Oscar Race, which teases that larger chat about Netflix, and then we have fun with a talk radio styled segment about all the standout acting performances we’ve seen this fall in Tour de Force or Soup du Jour. Now we’ll qualify our analysis on the One Night In Miami actors when news of who’s going lead / supporting breaks during that part of the recording. But we otherwise weigh in on a bunch of the potential contenders before part 2 previews & speculates about the best of the rest. As always, we want to hear your thoughts on all these races.
