35: Horror @ The Oscars + New Song Demo - Sinners Encore

from Open Mic Night of the Living Dead · host omnldpod

In this encore episode, we dig into the fascinating history of horror movies at the Academy Awards. From early classics like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Phantom of the Opera to modern favorites like Get Out, Pan’s Labyrinth, and this year’s record-breaking Sinners, we explore which films from the genre have scored Oscar nods and wins. We discuss trends in how horror films are recognized - often in technical or “vibes” categories like makeup, sound, and visual effects - and share our surprise at some unexpected nominees and winners. Plus, we debut our original demo, Yet We Breathe, inspired by this year’s Oscar darling Sinners. Join us as we celebrate nearly a century of horror’s place in cinematic awards history!  00:00:00 Intro 00:01:26 Horror at the Oscars 00:04:43 1930s-1940s 00:08:40 1960s  00:11:28 1970s 00:22:09 1980s 00:25:29 1990s 00:29:56 2000s & 2010s 00:32:58 2020s 00:35:24 Yet We Breathe Demo 00:38:45 Outro
