As promised, we check in one final time before the Oscars to recap and relive the Film Independent Spirits Awards, the Razzie Nominations, & we revisit our picks for the Academy Awards & confidence rank all our selections.

Who were the big winners on Oscar Eve at this Indie Spirits? How did the Oscar noms fare with the independent film community? Will Adam Sandler’s speech help or hurt his future campaigns for an Oscar? How did The Farewell take the biggest award of the night? And which beloved films earned moments of their own before awards season comes to an end? We debate it all.

We also recap ALL the fun as Aubrey Plaza made us laugh… hard, many times, and we dish on why the Indie Spirits are perhaps our favorite awards show of the year. Which skits & speeches played the best? And what other indie film plays like Uncut Gems? We break it all down.

The Razzie nominations came out, and we predict an unprecedented sweep of that show. Then we dive into a new segment where we Confidence-Rank all our Oscar picks. Which predictions would we allow us to bet our lives? Will we change anything? Enjoy this final Oscar Race Checkpoint for your Academy Awards Sunday.

As you know, we’ll be hitting the record button immediately after the Oscars announce their final award of the night. So make sure to refresh your podcast downloads on Monday to get our next episode. Then we’ll continue to recap the show with some fun guests throughout the week. After that, do stay tuned as we turn the page to Sundance, Tribeca, and our 2020/21 Way Too Early Predictions. Those will be coming later in the month, and we’ll also be resuming your regularly scheduled programming of Movie Reviews, MMO Weekly’s, and we’ll be announcing our next re-watch series or 3 very soon.
