Slim the mailman joins us in a bumper episode as Mia, Brian and Gemma answer listeners’ questions about awards season, from the Oscar category we’d like to see added to whether nominees are paid for all their campaigning to when genre films will have their day. We check in on both the 2023 SXSW Film Festival and Asian Film Award winners, and look back at how the Letterboxd buzz out of Everything Everywhere All at Once’s world premiere predicted the film’s eventual Oscar wins. Please participate in The Letterboxd Show Feedback Survey!
We also give Willem Dafoe a (heavy!) most-watched trophy and reveal the winner of the award for Biggest Letterboxd Oscars Bump (spoiler: people are watching women talking!). Then Jack’s Facts and Sophie Shin join us for the official Best in Show wrap party, and where we share the films that captured our hearts this season. There may also be a weepy acceptance speech or three. P.S. We’d love to hear your thoughts about Best in Show and all our podcasts.
