Breaking Down the 98th Academy Awards
from Below the Line Podcast · host Nightfall Films
Last Sunday was the 98th Academy Awards. The Oscars are no strangers to controversy, especially in recent years. This year's ceremony and campaign season, however, felt particularly malicious and deliberate. Leading up to the 98th Academy Awards, nominees became marred by meaningless non-controversies due to comments about cats, ballet, and the opera. Best Actor nominee and Oscar hopeful, Timothée Chalamet, appeared to be the target of a concerted effort to damage his reputation and Oscar chances ahead of the ceremony. Today's conversation involves the Nobodies of Hollywood sitting down to discuss the blatant disrespect and mistreatment of Timothée Chalamet during the 98th Academy Awards ceremony. What truly happened this year? After an impassioned monologue by Dylan, the guys discuss how the Academy has slowly lost their way, deteriorating into a performative group of elitists who have lost touch with moviegoers. Jesse caps off the episode by offering a solution for how the Academy can increase viewership and attract those who no longer care to watch the Oscars. We hope you find this conversation entertaining and meaningful.Peace + PlantsProduced by Maya.Mixed and mastered by Levi.http://www.youtube.com/@NightfallFilmshttp://www.patreon.com/nightfallfilms
