In this bonus release from our archive we travel back in time to understand how the Oscars became the campaigning and business-oriented event they are today (1:35). This leads us on a journey to the following enticing postulations: how often does the Academy actually get the winner for Best Picture right? and what would change if we were to award the Oscars with a ten year delay?

We end with our first ever head-to-head quiz showdown where we encourage all listeners to play along. Who will go down as the LIP Oscars Trivia World Champion (32:0)?

As ever, you can connect with us through our instagram account @lostinpostulation and via email [email protected]. Feedback, questions and postulations all very welcome!
