It felt like Christmas morning as we unwrapped all of the Academy Award Nominations. Though some of our stockings were filled with coal, others brought us tidings of great joy. I don’t know how to break from this holiday metaphor. So I'd better get to our episode format. This show breaks down category by glorious category (with 1 exception), but we also answered those 5 Golden Questions from our preview episode from last week. How many Best Pictures did we get? Did the locks all come through? Who were the snubs? Who surprised? And which movies showed the most strength in the nominations tally? As I wrote above, we forgot one category in supporting actor. Chalk it up to the lack of sleep, chalk it up to all the work we’ve been doing, or just chalk it up to the chalk of the category as my 5 came through?! IDK why my brain works the way it does. But we were rushing to record ASAFP, and yeah, we forgot to address supporting actor. To make it up to ya, we’ll have a full category overview pod coming soon. If you enjoyed this episode, you can relive all of awards season through our Oscar Race Checkpoint & Oscar Sprint Profile playlists on Soundcloud. We’ve reviewed all of the nominees, recapped all of the major awards shows, and dropped a ton of stats, analysis, & speculation about the eventual winners. We also just love talking movies as MMO Weekly covers the rest of the movie world from James Bond to Jordan Peele, from Diana Prince to Dee Rees, & from Kevin Feige to Kevin McCallister. You can also check out our series on The Films Of Pixar, our Tarantino Re-Watch, the Marvel, Mission Impossible, & Conjuring Universes, and The Joker Character Study. As always, we want to know what you think. Who were your snubs & surprises? Do you have any early predictions. Let us know!
