Atonement
Juno
Michel Clayton

There Will Be Blood

About Editing The Academy
From the publisher's feed
Two friends get together to discuss the best picture nominees of each year starting in 1969. We discuss each nominated film in detail breaking down the technical aspects, character development, acting, story presentation, etc. But, we also chat about how they hit us...our emotional reactions.
We try hard to let our modern filters fade and put ourselves in the mind frame of the year of release, but we’ll admit...it’s hard.
So join us as we dive deep in these films and discuss whether academy made the correct choice that year.
Feel free to join in the discussIO and agree or disagree, we only ask that you do so respectfully.
Oh, and yeah...major spoilers for each film.
