Episode 9: 2016

Revisiting the Oscars latest episode brings us as close to the present day as we've been in this series, and our first taste of an Oscars year with a higher number of Best Picture nominees! That makes for a bumper, 'feature length' episode, which only just comes in shorter than this years shortest film in 'Hell or High Water'.2016 was the infamous year when 'La La Land' was prematurely announced as the winner, stealing the thunder of 'Moonlight'. We also have our first taste of science fiction in 'Arrival', a war film ('Hacksaw Ridge') and a film about depression ('Manchester by the Sea'), described as enjoyable by our resident miserabilist! It's a cracking year with lots of great films and plenty of talking points.As always, we also get into what was happening in 2016 around the globe and in our own lives, but sadly no cricket update this episode - tune in to future episodes to find out when Mason's career reached its conclusion....2016 Best Picture NomineesLa La LandHacksaw RidgeHidden FiguresFencesLionHell or High WaterArrivalManchester by the SeaMoonlight *Please note this podcast does contain spoilersIf you're enjoying the podcast we'd appreciate shares, likes, follows and retweets on our social media channels and website :)FOLLOW US!Twitter: https://twitter.com/UpLateAtNightAgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/uplateatnightagain/Website: https://uplateatnightagain.com/Podcast Links: https://revisitingtheoscars.buzzsprout.com/Episode Link: https://uplateatnightagain.com/2021/01/21/revisiting-the-oscars-podcast-episode-9-2016/Send us Fan Mail
