Welcome everyone to the very first Oscar Madness Bracket Show. What is that, you ask? We take the last 24 winners in a respective category and narrow it down to ONE winner, yes, one winner. Benji and I will be joined by a guest who will help us decide in voting round by round until we have one sole survivor. The last 24 winners were put into a randomizer where I listed them 1-24 with copy and paste. Subsequently, I pinned the first round battle among 16 winners and gave 8 winners byes. We have a guest joining us to have an odd number so that there can be one winner per round. This will also open the field for discussion among the group if someone is divided and possibly sway the other to be the swing vote. This week we are joined by Mark Johnson, who will help us pick a winner in the Best Actor. Follow Mark on Twitter: https://x.com/MarkLikesMovies
