Stay tuned for part 2 where we’ll continue and complete our performance reviews from The Father and Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. Then we’ll talk about Mank and finish that Netflix discussion from part 1, and we’ll move into a brief look at the loaded Documentary & Animated features before closing things out with a long speculative look at the Oscars field at large, including month by month AND studio by studio analyses.

So as you can see, Ryan gave a herculean effort here, and you should certainly reward him with your patronage. He writes for InSession Film, AwardsWatch, AwardsRadar, and FilmSpeak, and he hosts two podcasts for InSession with Chasing The Gold & Extra Film. Plus, you can follow him at ryanmcquade77 on Twitter and make him one of your go to awards experts like we do.

As for part one, we open things up with a discussion on the potential impact of the fall film festivals on the upcoming Oscar Race, which teases that larger chat about Netflix, and then we have fun with a talk radio styled segment about all the standout acting performances we’ve seen this fall in Tour de Force or Soup du Jour.

Now we’ll qualify our analysis on the One Night In Miami actors when news of who’s going lead / supporting breaks during that part of the recording. But we otherwise weigh in on a bunch of the potential contenders before part 2 previews & speculates about the best of the rest.

As always, we want to hear your thoughts on all these races. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are at Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail.
