On the agenda:

* Talking about the start of the South By Southwest (SXSW) film festival which featured the World Premiere of Jordan Peele’s “Us,” which opened to outstanding notices from critics and audiences.

* This will feed a discussion about the horror genre and its interpretation by Academy members and general audiences. We’re going to talk about some of film history’s most iconic horror films that got ignored.

* “Captain Marvel” opens. Keeping it very surface-y. No spoilers. General audience and film critic reactions.

* Not before long, we’ll wrap up looking at a handful of anticipated 2019 films, Changing it up from what we traditionally do by naming a few Awards Profiles, we’re going to look at a studios slate (as it stands). We’re going to look at A24 and its slate includes “Gloria Bell” (TIFF hopeful for Julianne Moore), “High Life” (NYFF feature from Claire Denis), “Native Son” (big adaptation coming up), “Under the Silver Lake” (premiered at AFI and was pushed back), “The Souvenir” (Sundance hit), “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” (another Sundance hit), “The Farewell” (screenplay and Awkwafina contender), “Skin” (the long-form version of the Oscar-winning short), “Midsommar” (Ari Aster’s follow-up), “In Fabric” (from Peter Strickland), and “Share” (with Pippa Bianco).  And then there are others with no release dates yet that can do damage like “The Lighthouse.”

On the agenda:

* The Oscars were revealed and there was plenty to digest.

* “Green Book” won 3 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali, and Original Screenplay.  Film Twitter (and some on staff) are very unhappy.

* “The Favourite” didn’t do as well as we thought it would but it did upset in Best Actress with Olivia Colman winning over presumed lock Glenn Close (“The Wife”).

* Rami Malek won an Oscar for “Bohemian Rhapsody” and we look at his win against history moving forward.

* Regina King is an Academy Award winner and life is good.

* Spike Lee is an Academy Award winner and life is good.

* “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” did it in the end and we couldn’t be happier.

* “Black Panther” showed strength and might have been closer to a Best Picture win than we think.

* Every Best Picture nominee won an Oscar, and what does this new Academy look like when spreading the wealth?

* What are our picks for Oscars 2020 Best Picture?  Year-In-Advanced guesses happen.

On the agenda:

* The final Oscar Predictions for Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony is unleashed.  We discuss all the winners including:

* Best Picture: Is it still a race between “Green Book” or “Roma” or is something else coming up the middle?

* Best Director: Seems made for Alfonso Cuaron but could Spike Lee pull a last-minute switcheroo?

* Best Actor: Rami Malek has a lot of big wins but is Bradley Cooper pulling an Adrien Brody at the last minute?

* Best Actress: Does Olivia Colman‘s win at BAFTA have the juice to turn the tides her way from Glenn Close?

* Best Supporting Actor: Can Mahershala Ali lose and who can he lose to?

* Best Supporting Actress: Most wide open acting race where almost any of the ladies can win it in the end?  Did BAFTA give us a hint with Rachel Weisz?

* Screenplay categories: With WGA going their own way, what does this mean in this wide open field?

* Tech categories: Some categories seem locked (Song), others are still in flux (almost all of them?).  How many is the Best Picture winner going to win?

* Animated, Docs, Foreign, and Shorts: Some seem solidified but this new Academy can do some strange things.

On the agenda:

* We talk about an old Oscar category (that can still be activated) and what the nominees and winners would be.

* What is the strongest Best Actor lineup since the 2000s?

* We rank a list of actors and actresses that are most likely to win an Oscar in their careers.

* The BAFTA winners have been announced where “Roma” prevailed over “The Favourite” (which was the favorite with the group).  What do these winners mean to the Oscar race and will the Academy pay special attention for their own choices?

* What are some of the staff’s predictions going into this final Oscar voting round?  Can “Roma” triumph over “Green Book” or can “The Favourite” or “BlacKkKlansman” come up the middle?  Can the SAG Ensemble win bring “Black Panther” to a historic win without acting, writing, or editing?

On the agenda:

* The Directors Guild of America announced Alfonso Cuaron as the winner for “Roma.”  Where are we in the Oscar race that includes the Netflix film taking on “Green Book” and “The Favourite.”  The Documentary race has also been shaken up with “Three Identical Strangers” winning, while it’s omitted from the Academy Awards lineup.

* ACE Eddies, Art Directors Guild, and Annie Awards handed out their awards that included prizes for “The Favourite,” “Black Panther,” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”

* The Sundance Film Festival handed out their awards and we do a quick reflection that includes “Clemency.”

* Year In Advance Predictions tend to be shots in the dark but this year was “better” in the showing that year’s prior.  Trend?

* A preview of the films ahead in 2019.  What films are you looking forward to?

On the agenda:

* Fresh off the Screen Actors Guild awards, we are talking about all the winners where “Black Panther” took the top prize for Cast Ensemble.  The individual acting categories went to Rami Malek (“Bohemian Rhapsody”), Glenn Close (“The Wife”), Mahershala Ali (“Green Book”), and Emily Blunt (“A Quiet Place”).  Did three races lock themselves up?  Did Blunt’s win mean wonders for Regina King?

* Oscars are having their worst PR year ever, with the news that they will only have 2 songs performed at the ceremony, Lady Gaga (“Shallow” from “A Star is Born”) and Kendrick Lamar (“All the Stars” from “Black Panther”).  Is it time for John Bailey to move on?

* The 2018 Awards Circuit Community Awards are being announced where “A Star is Born” leads the charge with 13 nominations with “The Favourite” behind with 12.  Are they any surprises decided by the readers?

On the agenda:

* This is a special edition of the Circuit Breaker podcast.  Host Clayton Davis is joined by Emmy Award winner Jenelle Riley, Awards and Features Editor of Variety, along with Erik Anderson, founder, and editor of AwardsWatch.

* Looking at the Oscar nominations from Tuesday from different perspectives, more notably the reactions from the different coasts, we’re discussing the surprises and exclusions in the major categories.

* Beginning with our feelings about the nominations announcement.  Did it work and why was John Bailey missing?

* Best Picture produced eight nominees this year and only three of them have the “right” nominations to win the top prize but is it that simple?

* “BlacKkKlansman” from Spike Lee is showing strength despite the miss for John David Washington in Best Actor.  Is it the frontrunner?

* “A Star is Born” and “Green Book” missed out key mentions despite being touted as frontrunners and now “Roma” seems to have the momentum.  How does it shake out with DGA and BAFTA on the horizon?

* “The Favourite” has 10 nominations, tied for the most of the night.  Is there a road for it in the top category?

* There could be a default four-person acting winners club: Christian Bale (“Vice”), Glenn Close (“The Wife”), Mahershala Ali (“Green Book”), and Regina King (“If Beale Street Could Talk”).  But not so fast…the SAG Awards are this weekend and could throw a wrench in the works.
