This week's Oscar ceremony provided a somewhat anti-climactic ending to a very unique 2021 award season: a few expected winners (Nomadland's Best Director and Best Movie Awards), but just as many surprises (Anthony Hopkins and Frances McDormand winning Best Actors) and perceived snubs (Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis). Andy and Sam review the most important awards of the evening, as well as the unusual Oscar ceremony itself before dissecting four of this year's most nominated movies: Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Promising Young Woman, Trial of the Chicago 7 and Mank. They question especially whether these films meet the criteria for a truly satisfying cinematic journey.
