The Oscars Aren't A Competition
Manage episode 397723749 series 1985525
The Oscar Nominations celebrating the movies released in 2023 are finally here. The guys are in London for a junket (interview coming next week) and call in to discuss some of the major storylines following the announcement. Oppenheimer earned the most nominations, Poor Things, another film we’ve championed, surprised with the second most, and somehow both Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie were left off the ballot for their respective categories.
All this chat raised an interesting question of whether or not the Oscars are a “competition,” and what’s the best way for us to view and consider the movies being honored.
