The LGM team is joined Variety chief correspondent Daniel D'Addario this week to talk about his new book, The Talent, which centers on a fictionalized best actress Oscar race. The novel, which is available now, has lots of juicy insider details that D'Addario has gathered in his years of covering entertainment. David, Richard, and Rebecca discuss with him why the best actress race is often the most dramatic, and what he thinks about this year's cut-throat race. Plus, D'Addario sticks around to answer some listener questions like why don't voters watch all the movies?
