The 95th Academy Awards are coming up on Sunday, so it's time for us to break down what was nominated, what we think should win and what we think WILL win gold on March 12th. There might be quite a few newbies going up on stage because most of the actors and directors have never been nominated before. 2022 was a year of underdogs and comebacks, from Brendan Fraser to Ke Huy Quan, but also one in which luminaries like Angela Bassett and Jamie Lee Curtis finally got a real chance to win an Oscar. So download our 496th podcast as we analyze the Year In Puking and the glories that might be ahead for some very-deserving people at this year's Academy Awards.

This episode and all our 2023 chats are also on YouTube. The Monday shows always have us on camera for a spell, addressing that movie, talking about new films we've seen, answering listener emails, etc. Ryan has quite a few bonus thoughts about the Oscars, so make sure to go to "hyesellis" in your browser to find this particular show.

And if you want to hear Ryan yammer some more about the flicks, take a look at what's offered in the sports movie realm on "Scoring At The Movies".
