The 2021 Oscars Winners According to Crush Fictionally


Listen Later

Kim and Michelle never thought they would be in the business of solving mysteries. But here they are trying to unravel the answer to April’s biggest question, why isn’t Delroy Lindo nominated for an Oscar for his emotionally rich performance as a Vietnam vet in Da 5 Bloods?! Why?! Join us as we take a closer look at some of our favorite Oscar categories to discuss who the winners should be. Although we aren’t mad at the number of female and first-time nominees, we ARE mad that some exceptional standouts like Regina King, Spike Lee, and Alan Kim are noticeably absent from this year’s list.  


Together we chat about Kim’s love/hate relationship with awards shows, Michelle’s feelings towards the thought-provoking stories told this year, and why we hope Judas and the Black Messiah, Minari, The Sound of Metal, and A Promising Young Woman are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to representation and well-deserved recognition.

This week’s small business shout-out: Semicolon Books (Chicago)
