Anora's Big Night: The Oscars 2025

We're still holding space for Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's Oscars performance! In this episode, Shelby and Laura review the 97th Academy Awards celebrating the best in film! We break down and review cinema's biggest night, so you don't have to. Spoiler alert -- we didn't love the awards show since it was disjointed and a near sweep for Anora. We hoped movies like Nickel Boys, Conclave, Sing Sing, and A Complete Unknown would get some love!
We dissect the Emilia Perez tweets and The Brutalist AI controversies that plagued the awards season, discuss how Sean Baker made history winning 4 oscars for 1 film, explain why Anora just didn't resonate with us, highlight our favorite moments like Conan O'Brien's witty opening monologue and Zoë Saldaña's emotional speech, celebrate Paul Tazewell and I'm Still Here's powerful wins, question the random James Bond and Quincy Jones tributes, critique Adrien Brody's self-righteous speech, and analyze the biggest upset of the night--Mikey Madison beating Demi Moore in the Best Actress category. We also make way too early predictions for next year's Oscars ceremony.
We reviewed many of the 2024 Oscar nominees and winners. Check out our podcast episodes on Wicked, Gladiator II, Inside Out 2, and Cannes Film Festival 2024.
