Hips may not lie, but stats sure do. We discuss history in the making at the BAFTAs, how the WGA’s crossover to the Academy, & which films are closing the race like the Chiefs finished off the 49ers. Plus, we discuss the undercard.

The BAFTAs made history, two new frontrunners emerged from the WGA, and we checked in on the rest of the undercard in this O.R.C. You get our Super Bowl reactions during the intro, we tally up what happened across the pond, and we work in all the guild awards since we last did one of these checkpoints.

Will 1917 be as dominant stateside as it was overseas? Is Parasite up for an even bigger night next Sunday? And should we be eulogizing Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’s Best Picture chances? We discussed all of the big awards atop the show. Then we go into the rest of the BAFTA winners, including most of the Oscar undercard, and we catch you up on all of the other guild awards since last went through all the categories.

Get ready for a big week from us at MMO. The Mike, Mike, and Oscars are coming soon. We’ll also be making our final predictions after analyzing the betting odds this week with a special guest. A recurring guest will come back to give us a final preview, and we’ll also be breaking down this Saturday’s Indie Spirits for your Academy Awards morning.

Don’t forget about us after the Oscars either. We’ll be recording an immediate reaction episode moments after Best Picture gets announced, and we’ll release that ASAFP. Then we’ll settle down, do our research, and discuss the aftermath with another recurring expert guest for later in your week. Plus, we owe you an MMO Weekly with a fresh new game of Six Degrees Of MMO before we kick off the film year 2020 with next year’s Oscar Predictions, a Sundance Film Festival episode, & announce our spring re-watch series.
