For the final (!) episode in their Oscar Contenders series, Sophia and Nick are joined by friend of the pod and master pundit of AwardsWatch, Erik Anderson, to break down the last four above-the-line Oscar categories. They navigate the trenches of Adapted Screenplay before traveling the symphonic multiverses in Original Screenplay (23:35), which correlate exactly with the nominees in Best Director (44:24). Last but not least comes Best Picture, where they share their emotional journeys through the year of film in 2022 and what they think of this group of contenders (1:10:08). As always, find out what they think should win for each category and what their write-in votes would be.
