She’s got one of the most addictive, rewarding, & insightful channels going, and you ought to start binging all these videos IMMEDIATELY. Our interview with Izzy begins our show, and we do far more than just breakdown this Supporting Actress category. Izzy talks us through how she composes her videos, the various roles of women in Hollywood, why Jennifer Lopez was snubbed, what Greta Gerwig & Florence Pugh accomplished with the newest adaptation of Little Women, and the double standards women still face in both nostalghia fueled stories & more contemporary films alike. But of course, Izzy weighs in on why the category went with this cast of characters for their 5, how Laura Dern is sweeping, and who Izzy would have chosen. After our interview, we complete our traditional category overview format, highlighting our snubs first. Then we argue for and against each nominee’s chances of winning & losing before we rank the nominees in our final segment. Will Laura Dern complete the sweep? Or will BAFTA surprise us?
