Joining the show are two entertainment journalism heavyweights: Jacqueline Coley is awards editor at Rotten Tomatoes and host of Seen on the Screen with Jacqueline Coley. Clayton Davis is chief awards editor at Variety where he also hosts the Awards Circuit Podcast. Sign up for Sam’s Newsletter to get behind the scenes stuff from every interview each week.
