Flushing is Burning: Mmm, Juan Soto

Grace is back, and so is baseball! In the first couple weeks of spring training, nothing monumental has happened, but Juan Soto has hit a few homers for the Mets already which is a welcome sight. The Mets have also had a few injuries, but Grace argues that it's not quite time to hit the panic button. Next, Grace gives her thoughts and predictions on the above the line Oscar categories. Actress is definitely the most interesting and beguiling, but there are a few other question marks and interesting races elsewhere. Finally, Grace has a movie minute full of lower-key Oscar nominees this year. The top billed, major contenders are (mostly) great, but there are some other gems in the list of films with only a few nominations, and Grace highlights some.
