On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider, we are breaking down our award winners for both film and television. If you haven’t listened to our HO Awards before, we do ours a bit different, for example our "actor" category covers all genders, we do not separate it. For TV, cable and streaming all count, it just has to have had a new season in 2021. For movies, VOD and streaming all count.

If you want to follow along, the categories are below, so let us know what your picks are on social media. Each of us will award our winners in each category, and at the end, we’ll combine ours with listener picks to determine what was the HO TV series and movie of 2021! Before we go, we will each leave you with our 2021 HO Teachable Minute.

* Be wary of potential mild spoilers for 2021 films and TV series
