We’ve been listening to the surefire Best Original Song contender “Shallow” all week, we can’t stop singing, and we even put the lyrics into our show notes. That’s how much we’re obsessed with this song.

MMO has been previewing A Star Is Born at every stage of it’s Oscar buzz from early March, through our review of its first trailer & the Mid-Year Oscar Race Update, through the fall film festivals, and we also featured it atop our October monthly look see. It’s amazing how we’ve found new things to talk about on every occasion, & this show’s production profile adds a whole new world (to quote a previous Best Original Song winner) of fun & film appreciation.

Was A Star Is Born an all timer? Can it contend in ALL categories, like its buzz seems to project? We break down each aspect & survey what experts are saying. As an added bonus, we also weigh in on where we think it stands. Then we break down THAT ending and what it all means in our spoiler section.

Yes, we’ve released all kinds of previews of the Awards Mural from our Oscar Trailer pods (x4 episodes & counting), those early predictions, a mid-year report, & all the monthly overviews.
