Vanity Fair Style Correspondent José Criales-Unzueta joins John and Rebecca to discuss how dressing for the red carpet has evolved since the days of Old Hollywood. He breaks down the stylists and partnerships that have made dressing for awards season more corporate, and shares whose look he’s most excited to see at the Oscars. Plus, John and VF Senior Hollywood Editor Hillary Busis share their takes on the hits and misses of this year’s Sundance Festival.

Happy Oscar Nom Day! Rebecca, John, and VF Staff Writer Chris Murphy were up bright and early to analyze this year's Academy Award nominations. They talk about Sinners's historic 16 nominations, and the snubs (Wicked: For Good) and surprises (Kate Hudson) that might make this Oscars more unpredictable than everyone initially thought. Plus, they offer suggestions and predictions for the ceremony itself, from the In Memoriam segment to hosting bits for Conan O'Brien.

The 83rd Golden Globes kept the momentum going for most of the expected winners, but the night still delivered a couple of notable surprises and a killer monologue from Nikki Glaser. Rebecca and John share their impressions of what went down inside the Beverly Hilton (including Rebecca's almost-Jason Derulo moment), and try to predict what the Globes wins—and losses—mean for Academy nominations voting this week. Plus, VF Global Director of Social Media Carly Walsh joins to dish about what she saw on the carpet and in the winners' room behind the scenes.

They share dispatches from the Palm Springs Gala and the Critics Choice Awards, and debate whether Academy voters will be able to get over the Kardashian of it all. Then, Little Gold Men's best friend, Hillary Busis, joins the conversation to make some bold predictions about what will happen at Sunday's Golden Globes — and explain why the once-embattled awards show still matters.

At a special Little Gold Men live event at the Regent Santa Monica Beach, the Australian actor revealed that he had tried to get the rights to Denis Johnson's book four years earlier. But, he tells John and Rebecca, the wait was worth it to make Clint Bentley's version of the story, which explores fatherhood. "Robert, for me, felt like some version of myself and that felt like a worthwhile thing to do at that time in my life," says Edgerton, who also spoke about how directors like Baz Luhrmann have influenced him and what he thinks about the current state of the industry, including the possible Warner-Netflix merger.

In this episode from the archives, Rebecca talks with the Aftersun Oscar nominee and Hamnet star Paul Mescal, who starred last year in Ridley Scott's long-awaited Gladiator II. The indie darling reveals why he finally said yes to a blockbuster, the sage advice he got from his director, and why he's been working at such an intense pace since Normal People. Plus, he answers the Proust Questionnaire, revealing his greatest (mini) extravagance.

Rebecca and John are joined by VF's Hillary Busis to share some words of wisdom for Hollywood as we enter the new year. And Hollywood had better take note as they offer priceless unsolicited advice to the powers that be. They also share their predictions for the 10 Best Picture nominees, and discuss who is on the bubble and where there could be some surprises. Finally, Rebecca and John review the biggest losers (The Testament of Ann Lee) and winners (Sirāt) of the recently announced Oscars shortlist.

Rebecca talks with Amanda Seyfried, who has two films coming out over two weeks: she stars as a wealthy woman with secrets in The Housemaid, and as the leader of the Shaker religious movement in the ambitious epic The Testament of Ann Lee. The actress discusses the confidence she needed to have in herself, along with the challenges of learning the intense dance style used in the latter. "The nature of learning those choreographed moves, it's a real bitch," she says. She also talks about the challenges of overnight fame, which she's witnessed with her Housemaid co-star Sydney Sweeney. Plus, she reveals her obsession with taxidermy and her love of crocheting.

Rebecca chats with Jacob Elordi, who plays the creature in Guillermo del Toro’s moving film. He reveals how he prepared for the unique role, his biggest concerns with the hours-long prosthetics process, and why it was, in a way, a religious experience. "I suppose maybe it takes a mask sometimes for people to see the truth of something," he says of his experience. Plus. the Australian actor talks about filming the third season of Euphoria, and reflects on how his career has transformed since the first season of HBO’s hit series. Finally, he reveals why he hates talking about AI -- and would rather be kissing on the beach.
