Episode 79 - Oscar Best Score Nominations

Yes. The Oscar nominations have been public for a while, but it takes time for these things to settle in. The crew assemble (virtually) to discuss each of the five nominees in the BEST SCORE category for the 87th Annual Academy Awards. We give our predictions as to who we think will win and also who we'd like to see win. We also share some responses from Twitter and Facebook on the topic. Also in this episode WHYBLT? is back and Edmund Meinerts gets his chance to lay down his thoughts on Shore's Battle of the Five Armies score and our discussion in ep. 78.
