Today we are talking all about the world of cinema, and one of the oldest and biggest award ceremonies surrounding it all... The Academy Awards, nicknamed 'The Oscars' after the little statue they hand out as awards to talented directors, actors, designers, and more. We discuss the history of the awards, their complete lack of diversity, and how they've been called out numerous times for consistently giving their awards to white, and predominately male professionals. We also dive into some of the historic moments and talk about this year's award moments and record-breakers.
