On the agenda:

* The box office of the weekend with “Coco” leading the way.  Leads to an assessment of the Animated Feature race on the heels of the precursors starting.  Could it lead the way this season or is something like “Loving Vincent” or “The Breadwinner” more of the critics liking?

* Thanksgiving delivered screeners for awards voters to watch over the break.  Could something like “Wonder” hit at the right time?

* The Independent Spirit Awards have announced their nominations and we go through each category and the connection to the Academy Awards.

* Offering our guesses for the National Board of Review, New York Film Critics Circle, and Los Angeles Film Critics Association which all will announce this week.

* Questions and Cinephile Showdowns from the readers!

Welcome to the Awards Circuit podcast titled “CIRCUIT BREAKER INTERVIEWS,” a weekly podcast from AwardsCircuit.com featuring host Clayton Davis. We discuss movies, television and all the awards shows that need predicting. New episodes are released every Monday.

Find us on Twitter at @Circuit_Pod, email us at [email protected], and submit your comments and questions at the bottom of the episode.

In October, Awards Circuit had the distinct opportunity to sit down with various cast members and the director of Netflix’s “Mudbound.”  In a 21 Questions-style interview, we got to know about some of their motivations, thoughts, and feelings about the film, each other, and politics.

We sat down with the director and co-writer Dee Rees, who talks various topics including what films mean to her and how “Mudbound” came to be.

Supporting Actress hopeful Mary J. Blige talks about the differences between music and acting, what classic actor she would want to date, and what album she would take with her to a deserted island.

Jason Clarke talks about actor and actresses he’s dying to work with and talks about his role in “Chappaquiddick.”

Garrett Hedlund speaks about what movies make him laugh and cry the most, and what drew him to the role.

Veteran actor Rob Morgan gives an in-depth and honest perspective of being a working actor today, especially after the sale of “Mudbound” at the Sundance Film Festival.

Jason Mitchell talks about the wisdom of one of his cast members, best cooks in his family, and his favorite sports teams.
