This week on TIFF Long Take, Rob and Geoff chat with Katey Rich and Richard Lawson, the hosts of Vanity Fair’s 'Little Gold Men' podcast, about the biggest winners, surprises, and storylines coming out of the 90th Academy Awards.

Rich and Lawson chat about the thrill of seeing James Ivory and Jordan Peele step to the podium, the agony of watching Lady Bird go home empty handed, and whether the Oscar’s preferential ballot voting method is leading to good results.

They also talk about the uphill battle Black Panther has to get a nomination next year, why the Oscars’ ratings continue to fall year after year, and what films they think could sneak into the best picture race in 2019.
