The Oscars don’t always get it right… and some performances (and careers) slip through the cracks.

In this episode of What the Film, Vishaal and Kevin are talking about the actors and actresses we think are long overdue for an Academy Award.

We’re not naming names upfront, but our picks span:

• Respected veterans who’ve somehow never won

• Familiar faces the Academy keeps overlooking

• Performers with careers that deserve more recognition

We get into what makes someone “overdue,” how the Academy Awards tends to reward performances, and whether timing, roles, or industry politics play a bigger part than we think.

Listen now and see if your picks made our list.
