You may think that we have already covered The Substance enough for the next 10 years… but I wanted to have Frédérique Aguello on the show because believe it or not… there were still some questions that I had. I also wanted to bluntly ask her about the awards process and find out more about why she was on stage for the BAFTA acceptance, but was absent for the Oscar win. In fact, her name was not even on the ballot…
In addition to speaking to me about her inspiration and process on The Substance, we get into the complete process of award submissions and what happened specifically in this case which led to Fred being absent from the Oscar ceremony.
Enjoy this episode and be sure to weigh in below.
