In this episode, we unpack the highlights of the 97th Academy Awards, from surprise wins to historic moments. With ITV hosting for UK audiences and Jonathan Ross adding his own spin, this year’s show felt different, and we’re breaking down what worked and what didn’t. We also explore the unpredictability of this year’s winners and how the Academy is changing its approach to categories, nominations, and representation. Plus, we debate whether the Oscars are finally embracing independent cinema or still favoUring big-budget productions.
