Perhaps the most infamous Oscars in recent memory, the 71st Academy Awards pitted fans of Spielberg war movies against nerds and romantics who like Shakespeare. Shakespeare in Love ended up going home with Best Picture honors, but Saving Private Ryan won Spielberg his second Oscar. Elsewhere, another WWII movie, another Elizabethan movie, and then one more WWII movie scored major nominations. Meryl was nominated for her role as a terminally ill woman in One True Thing and made the cohosts want to call their mothers. Join us as we discuss Roberto Benigni’s chair jumping, the worst choice in Oscar history for an honorary award, and the underrated Gods & Monsters.
