Golden Brick Road

What a season! In the final episode before the Oscar ballot is revealed, we do a curated list of our predicted Oscar nominations in several categories, including Best Picture, Director, and both Screenplays. We both played some safe, we both took some swings, and we talked about dream nominees for each category.

Like all awards season fans, Lee and Jackson had a...weird time watching the Golden Globes Sunday night. We discuss the winners, the losers, and what effects this could have on the Oscar race. Then, we dive into a couple of movies we saw, including Nomadland, I Care a Lot, and Another Round.

This week, co-hosts Lee Henry and Jackson Vickery talk about Judas and the Black Messiah, one of the last entries into this awards season that is attempting to make a big, across-the-board push. We discuss the many merits of its performances, debate Shaka King's direction, and ask about its awards chances. Then, in anticipation of the besieged-by-scandal HFPA's offerings this Sunday, we try to predict the Golden Globe awards. How many trophies will Borat 2 win? Is Jared Leto bound for glory? How will a virtual Globes even look? All this, and more, on Golden Brick Road.

Jackson Vickery and Lee Henry are back for another week of awards season coverage! Tune in as we talk the Critics Choice Nominations, highlights from the Oscars' first shortlists, and debate the merits of Malcolm & Marie.

Jackson and Lee react to the..."surprising" Golden Globe and SAG nominations this week. We talk winners, losers, and what this all means for the race. Let us escort you further down the Golden Brick Road as we discuss whether our beloveds Delroy Lindo and Paul Raci are dead on arrival, ask if Glenn Close can somehow finally win an Oscar, and wonder why the hell Jared Leto is here.

Thanks for listening to the first episode of Golden Brick Road! In this podcast, co-hosts Lee Henry and Jackson Vickery provide awards season coverage, analysis, predictions and opinions in the vain hope of somehow winning Oscars themselves. This week: the Independent Spirit Award nominations, National Board of Review and AFI winners, a brief look at Sundance 2021, and some predictions about next week's Golden Globe and SAG noms. Plus, a talk about the wonderful, not-long-for-this-Oscar-race movie First Cow.
