We continue our yearly tradition of breaking down the Best Picture nominees and the odds they have to win each of their categories. On this episode of the series we talk about Emilia Pérez, Dune: Part Two and The Substance. We label each nomination as Frontrunner, Dark Horse, Longshot and Just Happy To Be There. Joining the show is Ethan Simmie, the host of The Movie Draft Podcast and 24 Minutes of A24.
Check out our Oscar Primer blog entries where we look at other films nominated at the Oscars. The most recent entry covers A Real Pain, Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, Memoir of a Snail and Gladiator II.
This Oscar season I will be highlighting different organizations that are helping victims of the Palisades fire. This episode consider donating to the World Central Kitchen or the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program.
