Magellans at the 2024 Oscars

The Oscars represent the culmination of the film year, much like New Year’s celebrations mark the termination of a calendar year. It’s a time to cast our gaze back over the movies that were, the jokes that made us laugh, the spectacles that made us gasp, and the romances that made us swoon. Or at least the jokes, spectacles, and romances as seen in the movies blessed by the opaque selection processes of a mismatched circle of film personalities of dubious qualification and unreliable judgment. The Oscars certainly aren’t what they used to be in terms of the audience and relevance they can lay claim to, but it’s still an interesting commentary on the state of the medium and a semi-decent way to kill five hours of your time. In anticipation of all that, then, Magellans at the Movies have taken a break from movie reviewing to bring you their thoughts on all things Oscars: the nominees, their respective prospects, and a bit about the ceremony itself. If, for some reason, that sounds fun to you, then I award you the M.A.T.M. award for notable achievement in patience and invite you to begin the episode!Contact us/Requests/Questions: [email protected]: https://paypal.me/magellensmovies?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
