Should the power to decide Hollywood's biggest honors be in the hands of those who don’t even watch the films? In this episode, we take a hard look at a controversial question shaking up the awards season: Should Oscar voters who fail to watch the nominated movies lose their right to vote? 

Join us as we explore the current state of the Academy voting process, the ethics of participation, and whether the integrity of the Oscars is being compromised. We'll also discuss potential reforms to ensure the awards represent true artistic achievement rather than popularity or convenience.

If you're passionate about film, awards season drama, or the future of the Oscars, this episode is a must-listen. Hit play to join the conversation!
