  1. This may be the funniest episode yet — the review of last year's ridiculously early Oscar picks is especially priceless — and love how the marathon of awards predictions came in under time to allow so many listener emails. As always, youse twose are the berries. More, please, thank you.

  2. That is so sad that people would not give the person they think is deserving because of a perceived future chance. Also when they give one out for body of work instead of particular role nominated for (ala Paul Newman in Color of Money). That’s all so disrespectful to the actor who actually deserved to win. IMO

  3. IMO Austin Butler is just beginning his career, and odds are, he'll have other chances at winning an Oscar. If anything, his nomination/performance here, 
    is "money in the bank" toward a future win. He will be fine.

  4. For Oscar voters who want to wait to reward young actors, I have two words for you: Peter O'Toole. He was about 30 when he did his iconic ''Lawrence of Arabia.'' Yes, he'd have 7 more Oscar nominations to … LOSE. O'Toole finally got a honorary Oscar at age 70. (So reward Austin Butler now!)

  5. Oh gosh they really went gender neutral???? They have taken away opportunities for deserving people because they are clumping them all into one. I think this is the silliest award show change I have seen since presenting best picture before the lead acting roles at the Oscar's the year before last.I support all people expressing their gender. I am all for it. Now you have top nominees together taking away a spot one of them would have one had they not done this. The award shows just have to try and make a change every few years. If the oscars ever switch to 10 nominees in each acting race they will basically kill the show and diminish the power of winning an actting Oscar. I will lose it! It's like giving participation ribbons to everyone. I have accepted best picture but I do feel it has not been a good thing. It would be easier to name the films that didn't get a nomination and reciving a nomination is not as special as it once was.

  6. Michelle Yeoh (lead EEAAO)
    Mia Goth (Lead Pearl & Support X)
    Stephanie Hsu (Support EEAAO)
    I feel that Tar, The Banshees of IsherIn, The Fablemans, She Said and Top Gun: Maverick are over hyped. I was pleasantly surprised that Woman Talking and Woman King are good solid films, both are easily better than the early Oscar front runners except for Everything Everywhere All At Once. Everything Everywhere All At Once should win Best picture, lead & supporting actress (Stephanie Hsu), supporting actor, director, editing, original screenplay and costume design.

  7. They're just the best and so different from each other but both knowledgeable and good quality loving movies. They remind me of Andrew Lloyd Webber coming to Broadway with his dazzling, big, showy, blockbuster yet good shows vs Sondheim on Broadway with his equally good shows but smaller, better written and more complex shows. Which Broadway super creator mirrors the movie tastes of the two of our dazzling hosts???

  8. Joyce makes a rare stats mistake predicting Top Gun to win ASC. ASC is one of the smallest guilds and their membership is roughly the same size as the Academy cinematography branch. (Obviously massive overlap).

    So you have a very similar group of people, first deciding the Oscar cinematography nominations via number 1 votes (Top Gun not Top Five), then deciding the ASC winner via single (number 1) vote and you predict Top Gun is the biggest vote getter. The ASC winner has always been nominated for the Oscar for the entire history of the ASC awards.
