From Sean Baker's 'Anora' nearly winning the big five, to 'The Brutalist' and 'Dune Part Two' under performances, all the way to 'Flow' and the amazing Latvian studio pawing their way into the hearts of the Academy voters, and Demi Moore and her unforgettable performance in 'The Substance' being triumphed over by Mikey Madison in Anora- we discuss all things Oscars and dive into horror's infamous omission at the ceremony! Snubs, surprises, and just a celebration of movies! Plus, we discuss the most exciting movies coming in 2025!
We discuss the 97th Academy Awards and its place in Oscar history, plus take a very fun and deep dive into horror pictures and their omission in award ceremonies, especially the Oscars, and the horror movies that should've broken in! This is a fun conversation and a ton of awesome horror movies are mentioned, but we'd love to hear yours too! Please consider dropping us a review and let us know horror movies in your lifetime that you think should've broken that golden ceiling at the Oscars aka Hereditary.
Join us as we debate if Anora was truly a film that broke through the ceiling of cinematic immortality, being deserving of that tiny golden man, or if it will be another Best Picture winner lost in the sands of time. And what does success at the Oscars mean for a film? And we discuss the new Academy trends, ratings, and what the future of 2025's slate of films looks like!
