Best Picture Nominees of 1973
Hooray for Hollywood? For better or worse, the Academy Awards are a good indicator of what critics and audiences have been talking about all year. So in honor of this weekend's ceremony, Matt and Tony picked a random year to see if any of that year's Best Picture nominees were blindspots. The result? 1973. That year's winner? The Godfather. Seen it, and worse it's been talked to death. But neither of them had seen any of the other four films up for Hollywood's highest honor, and two of them were pretty big blindspots.
This week, Matt and Tony watch and discuss Deliverance, Cabaret, Sounder, and The Emigrants. They touch on what they did and didn't like about the movies, trends and themes that tend to pop up every year in the Best Picture nominees, and how the hype that comes with an Oscar nomination can get in the way of appreciating a movie for what it's actually trying to do.
