Then stay tuned for our next episode, where Craig and I review the massive movie event on HBO MAX, Zach Snyder’s Justice League. As for this latest episode of Oscar Race Checkpoint, David and I tag teamed a humongous google document of research, stats, and betting odds, all of which we present and discuss in reaction to the recent winners at the Producers and Writers Guilds of America Awards. Nomadland is looking like a runaway in Best Picture. But we do offer some devil’s advocacy before becoming devils on your shoulders as we analyze the betting. The animated and documentary feature markets will move in opposite directions after Soul and My Octopus Teacher took home PGAs. Then we dissect two intriguing screenplay races, where one newly declared frontrunner gains speed as another may be looking over its shoulder at an unlikely challenger. Look, we certainly missed Mike 1 during this recording, and we’ll get back into our flow again soon. But both Mike and I are thrilled we could share our feed with David and Craig in what amounted to a glorious dual episode recording.
