It's time to put on our prognosticator hats, members of the jury! For this special bonus episode, we're diving deep on two of the biggest releases of the year, Michael and Project Hail Mary. Your detectives discuss if they believe that either of those films have a chance at major Oscar glory. Project Hail Mary seems likely, but Michael seems like a real question mark as the race moves forward. Can Jafaar Jackson get this coveted nom? What about Phil Lord and Christopher Miller in Director? We shall see!
