"What I definitely would like readers to get out of this article is: critically think about the movies that they're watching, the award nominations they're watching, even the film reviews they're reading. Don't take everything I say as the word on film."

Lights. Camera. Bias? Each year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences chooses what many regard as the best in film and acting talent. But some say the biases of the Academy Awards are causing it to skip over more deserving recipients. On this episode of "How It's Reported," Podcast Editor Ryan Nguyen talks with film and media reviewer Ilana Slavit about the Academy's choices of nominees, how she critiques media and why she says it's impossible to eliminate all biases when reviewing films.
