For this special bonus episode, we are posting something we did as a Hangout/Bonus for our Patreon feed where we talked about our Alternate Oscar picks in the tradition of the great book by our hero Danny Peary. We got through almost all the nominated categories and our only rule was we couldn't pick something that had been actually nominated in that category. Lots of room for us to praise/talk about some of our favorites from last year that didnt get as much recognition. If you enjoy this episode, please consider supporting Pure Cinema (and getting monthly bonus content) via our Patreon (5$/ month gets you everyhting): https://www.patreon.com/purecinemapod

We also have a whole other show called FILM DISCOVERIES that features friends of the podcast talking about movies they've come across and enjoyed in the last year. Check it out!
