Welcome back to the stand, members of the jury! For this episode, your detectives are breaking down the clash of generations that is the Best Actor 2018 race. They dive deep into what happened when three legends over 55 duel against two up-and-comers in their 20s, why this category has historically been bad (and didn't change this year), and actors in fat suits. They also discuss what this may mean for the Oscar race in 2026.
