In doing more research to attain that aforementioned 100% accuracy, Mike & I do come across another group of movies we feel we oughta profile for you. So that is how the episode starts as we chat about another selection of films featuring Awkwafina, Chastain, Affleck, Clooney, Waititi, Coogler, & Blunt that you could look forward to in 2020.

Then it’s time for our picks as we go through several of the major categories including Animated Feature, the four acting, Director, Picture, and of course, Sound Editing & Mixing. We make mention of all of the potential narratives, perennial nominees, overdue stars, returning winners, & rising talents that stick out to us in the crowded field of maybes. Each of us then picks 3 of the likeliest nominees, and by the end of the episode, we make our predictions.

However blown away you might be about our selections, in our minds, we’re just trying to do our job and preview you on all of the potential Oscars contenders hitting theaters & streaming services in the coming film year.
