33
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: That's true. I've been listening to way too much nine

34
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: Inch Nails the last couple of days. So what have

37
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: a friend of the pod because of our former Action

38

Speaker 1: Network colleague and still close friend to me. Matt Mitchell

Speaker 1: is He Gomez Lasker talent manager extra ordinaire in Hollywood.

40
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: He is a Hollywood insider. He is one of the

41
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: most powerful people in Hollywood. If you are watching television,

42
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: if you are going to movies, if you like to laugh,

43
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: if you think someone who's funny, chances are Lasker represents them,

44
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: knows them, probably gave them their best ideas. Here's the

45
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: most important thing right now. Every year Last Wood comes

46
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: on because nobody is better at talking about the Oscar

47
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: and giving us insight into the Oscars. The guy is

48
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: an encyclopedia Oscar savant. Michael Lascar is on the show. Brother.

49
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I'm back. First, First of all, I

50
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: think this is my fourth time, and I'm honored to

51
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: be back. So I'm almost said that five time. You know,

52
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna get you a coach, We're gonna get you.

53
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna get you hoodie like Simon has. Every Everything

54
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: you said was very very sweet. Very little of it

55
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: is true. You're you're ascribing way too much power and

56
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: uh and so forth to me, But but it's wonderful.

57
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: We'll be back. As you guys know, this is my

58
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: favorite time of the year. The Oscars are my Christmas

59
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Sonica wrapped up all into one. I unabashedly love the

60
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: Academy Awards. I make no I don't have to justify that.

61
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: I think the Academy Awards are fun. I've loved it

62
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: my whole life, and that's a pleasure to be back

63
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: and talk about what I think is not only turn

64
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: out to be a great movie year, but has been

65
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: a great Oscar race here. And while it feels like

66
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: there's favorites, you know, pun intended, I still think there

67
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: could be some surprises on Sunday. I'm also gonna say

68
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: many many times that my colleague, another manager at Mosaic

69
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: where I work, represents Daniels. His name is Josh Rodnick,

70
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: and he's represented them their whole career and incredible success story.

71
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: So I don't want people to think I'm playing favorites.

72
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: I love that movie. I will mention it many times.

73
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: But I understand there's bias, but that's okay. We all

74
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: have our own biases. So just for the record, well,

75
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: you're talking about the guys who directed everything everywhere, all

76
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: at once, which we're totally going to get to. I agree. Look,

77
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: I've become so in love with this episode of the

78
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: podcast that I made more effort to watch a lot

79
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: of the movies this year, and I have more opinions

80
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: than I ever have. Also, I think what's interesting is

81
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: even like, it's interesting that the Oscars has become the

82
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: kind of thing where, you know, and we've talked about this,

83
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: the big movies aren't the ones that end up getting

84
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: all the nomination. I think everything everywhere, all at once

85
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: is a little bit of an outlier, still a small

86
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: independent movie from a you know, quote unquote independent production company.

87
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: But Top Gun is like the biggest, biggest hit of

88
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: the year, and it's got some nominations. But that's a rarity. Now, Well,

89
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: what's interesting about this year? You know Tom Shrek, who

90
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: is no longer alive, Rest in peace. He was the

91
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: President Academy who after the two thousand and eight year

92
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: when The Dark Knight did not get nominated, that was

93
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: the last year there were five nominees for Best Picture.

94
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: He was the person who pushed through let's go back

95
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: to ten nominees. There were ten Best Picture nominees in

96
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: the thirties and forties. Let's do that. And I think

97
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: there's been years where a lot of movies were nominated,

98
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: not to ever name names they did not deserve to

99
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: be nominated for Best Picture this year, if you think

100
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: about it, is epitomizing what Tom Shrek and those who

101
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: those governors at the time had in mind. Because you're right,

102
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a cornucopia of you know that

103
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: the array of films. Top Gun biggest movie of the year,

104
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: actually the Avatar biggest movie of the year, Top Guns

105
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: second biggest movie the year. Elvis made a ton of money,

106
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 1: everything everywhere broke one hundred million worldwide. You've got foreign films,

107
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: You've got Triangle of Sadness, you've got all quiet on

108
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: the Western front, You've got streamers. So if you look

109
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: at the ten nominees this year, it's really a phenomenal

110
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: range of movies. And the thing that this is a

111
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: side tangent. We wouldn't have to cover it today, but

112
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: I think in the post pandemic world, you know, a

113
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: lot of these movies have gone to streaming faster, like

114
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: Tar and Banshees have in a Sharin in the older

115
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: era would have quietly all made sixty seventy eighty million bucks.

116
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: They would have played for four straight months. Adults would

117
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 1: have gone and seen them. But they all hit streaming

118
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: so fast, you know, I mean before I looked up

119
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: Banshees on HBO Max and it's like, Okay, I guess

120
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: I'll just watch on HBO Max tonight. So but I

121
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: think that you look at those ten movies and I

122
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: think this is what the Academy had in mind, you know,

123
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: because there is a great variety and there's still a

124
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: lot of you know, it's anybody's anybody's race. Still, I

125
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: agree with you on the streaming huge point, like, that's

126
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: how I ended up seeing Banshees. It's how I ended

127
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: up starting Elvis and stopping Fableman's and stopping But we'll

128
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: get to that before we do that. Before we do that,

129
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: I have been talking about the game Time ticket app

130
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,720

00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: an artist. You're an artist like you know you work

156
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: in the arts. Okay. Um. I have so many movies

157
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: that I loved, so many movies that I think were

158
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: what excited you this year. I think I think Banshee

159
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: is a ven sharing. Yeah, you've been on the Banshee's

160
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: train over huge Banshees fan the movie we're going to

161
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: talk about that, I think God I would like to

162
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: get Simon's take on this. I saw the menu to

163
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: you about this. It might be my favorite movie of

164
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: the year other than Top Gun, my favorite movie of

165
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: the year. I thought it was tight, brilliant, great commentary,

166
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: much better than Triangle Sadness. I think we should like

167
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: I all of a sudden, I feel like we're getting

168
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: way ahead of ourselves. Simon, I do want to bring

169
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: you in for a second. Do you have a movie

170
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: this year that you loved that you were looking forward

171
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: to seeing how it performs in the Oscars? I would

172
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: say for visually stunning in the movie that made me

173
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: feel the most, I would say All Quiet on the

174
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: Western Front. That movie was one of those where I

175
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: kind of knew what it was going in but it's

176
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: one of those I didn't watch any previews. I hadn't

177
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: heard much about it at the time, and again it's

178
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: another streaming movie, right, That's one of those where it

179
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: was just on so I checked it out, and man's

180
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: that's one of those where I feel like not just

181
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: because of what's going on Ukraine. It hit home more,

182
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: but it's more of like, these young men are filled

183
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: with so much happiness and joy and then you just

184
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: see how that quickly subsides and it changes everything. Right,

185
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 1: So that was one of those where I thought that

186
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: would probably win. But this is why I want to

187
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: ask him about the fact that you have guys like

188
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: Steven Spoelberg going up to Tom Cruise and telling him

189
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: he saved movies. Is that going to be factored into

190
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: what's happening this year where this is again, I mean

191
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: just ten years ago, we wouldn't have seen I feel

192
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: like Maverick in this kind of position where this is

193
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: one of these movies where you can say whatever you

194
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: want about it, you know, if you didn't like it,

195
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I feel like most people liked the movie.

196
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: It was very nostalgic, that was well done. But the

197
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: fact that it really did spark people going back to

198
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: the movie theater feels like a real thing. So I'm

199
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: interested in your take on that. If that's going to

200
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: factor into them, well, I think we will. A couple

201
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: of things. One I loved All Quiet on the Western Front.

202
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: I thought that movie was an absolute masterpiece. Edward Burger,

203
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: who directed it, was not nonated for director or you know,

204
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: there's no way of knowing, but I think a lot

205
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: of people think that Ruben Ocelin, who directed Triangle Satin,

206
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: has kind of took his spot. I mean, he was

207
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: completely deserving as well. I think if Edward Burger had

208
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: been nonated for director and then the movie would have

209
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: had ten noms, not nine, I think. I mean, I

210
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: think it's going to win a fair amount of Oscars

211
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: on Sunday. We'll get to that. I loved it. I

212
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: thought I've never seen the original which also won Best

213
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: Picture or did win Best Picture in like nineteen thirty two.

214
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: But that's I believe, like the most famous book like

215
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: ever written in Germany because what it's about. Obviously, I

216
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: thought the movie was absolutely stunning, the top gun stuff. Yeah,

217
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's obviously the favorite going in again,

218
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: excuse the pun. The favorite for Sunday is everything everywhere

219
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: right now, which I still believe will win. But one

220
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: thing you have to remember is that the Academy has

221
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: a for Best Picture, has a preferential voting system, and

222
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: I'm always trying to remind myself what that means. But

223
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: my understanding of it, you guys can correct me, is this. See,

224
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: because there's ten nominees, they did not want whoever got

225
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: the most votes to win Best Picture, because that meant

226
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: a movie could get like twenty percent of the votes

227
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: and win Best Picture. They didn't think that would make sense.

228
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: So instead they have these like threshold numbers, and basically

229
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: what they do is they first count every most the

230
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: movie that gets the most ballots at number one, and

231
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: then if that doesn't hit a certain number, then they

232
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: go to all the other ballots and they figure. So

233
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: they count all the ballots, and you have the ballot.

234
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: You know, let's say everything everywhere is number one on

235
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: a certain amount of ballots. Once it's not number one,

236
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: they go to the next batch of ballots and they

237
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: count the next number one. So there's a lot of belief.

238
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: I talked to an executive yesterday who was like, no,

239
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: Top Gun's gonna win because at the end of the day,

240
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: everything everywhere could get like a lot of ones, a

241
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: lot of twos, a lot of threes. But if Top

242
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: Gun got like the majority of the twos and enough

243
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: of the ones, you know what I mean. So they're obviously,

244
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: you know, if you're number ten or nine, you're you're

245
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: not going to compete. I think Top Gun definitely has

246
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: a chance. I think that stuff does matter. But my

247
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: tricky thing to Top Gun, which I loved, who couldn't

248
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: love it, is just that it's not really a Best

249
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: Picture winner, like at its core, you know, I mean,

250
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: it's a great movie, but you know, it doesn't quite

251
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: have the weightiness of what a lot of best pictures

252
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: typically have. And I think that's what's gonna hurt it

253
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: in the end. You know, I thought there was a

254
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: lot of people. Tom Cruise was kind of on the

255
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: outside looking in for Best Actor nomination. The director was

256
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: nominated at the dga's. He didn't get the Oscar nomination.

257
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: It did not get as many nominations as I think

258
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: people thought it would. I think what's also tricky is

259
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 1: like the two big technical categories that everyone assumed it

260
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: would dominate were editing in visual effects. And I'll go

261
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: through some of these now, Chad, because I feel like

262
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: we're not going to do all the awards, like visual

263
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: effects is going to be Avatar, partially because the Top

264
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 1: Gun crew has very kind of bragged that, like they

265
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: weren't visual effects were already we were up there in

266
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: those planes. Whereas you watch Avatar and you're like, are

267
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: these visual effecture to James Cameron reinvent the wheel again? Right,

268
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a whole other level. And then

269
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: with editing, Eddie Hamilton edited a top Gun. He does

270
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: all the Christmas Cory, but he's does Mission Impossible. He's

271
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: a genius. But everything everywhere, the whole movie's editing and

272
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: the editing Oscar often connects. It used to more than less.

273
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: So in the two thousands and the two thousand and tens,

274
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you some data if you want it. But

275
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: usually in past the best editing also went to Best

276
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: Picture because there was a correlation of if it's the

277
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: best movie the year, it's the best edited film of

278
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: the year. What's happened a lot in the last twenty

279
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: five years or so is they have given movies that

280
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: were more, you know, just sort of like the editing

281
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: really stood out as opposed to it being part of

282
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: the best Picture. So for instance, I'll give you a

283
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: little data, right, So in the nineties, six of the

284
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: best pictures also won best Editing. In the two thousands,

285
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: six of the Best Pictures also won Best Editing. In

286
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: the two thousand and tens, only one Best Picture also

287
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: won Best Editing, so it's not quite the precursor it

288
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: used to be. With that said, this is what I'll say.

289
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: If Top Gun wins Best Editing early in the night,

290
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: I'm still not convinced the twinning Best Picture. If Everything

291
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: Everywhere wins Best Editing, it is one hundred percent winning

292
00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: Best Picture. Pay attention right now, Everything Everywhere is minus

293
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: seven hundred to win Best Picture. After that it's a

294
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: banshees at about I think minus eleven hundred to win

295
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: Best Picture, I mean plus eleven hundred, sorry to win

296
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: Best Picture. Best Director. Are the Daniels that you mentioned

297
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: Lasker minus eighteen hundred to win and then Spielberg with

298
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: the unwatchable Fable Men's at plus eight You're gonna give

299
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: me a blacklists from Hollywood just being just just being

300
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: around this talk. I know, all right, Look I watched

301
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: I tried it for fifty two minutes. Who's like, why would?

302
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: And I love the Fable Men's. Spielberg is a god

303
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: to every Jewish family of the past forty years, you know,

304
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: because of Schindler's list and then what he does with

305
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: Shoa and all that kind of stuff, like who's not

306
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: rooting for the guy fifty two minutes. I looked at

307
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: it when I turned it off. It was Judd Hirsch,

308
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: who I also love, telling the kid where artists and

309
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: like everything was on the nose. Every scene that could

310
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: have been ten seconds was ten minutes. It was just

311
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: two self intoption for me. But whatever, Well there's I'm sorry,

312
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: continue no, no, that that gives you a stat Well,

313
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: what's interesting about about Sunday Night? You have two legends

314
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: that are trying to win their third main oscar for

315
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: what they do. I mean, Spielberg has more than three oscars,

316
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: or he has because of like producing and stuff, but

317
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: he's only one director twice. Cabe Lynchet has only one

318
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: two acting oscars Supporting Actress two thousand and four for Aviator,

319
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: Lead Actress twenty thirteen for Blue Jasmine. They both could

320
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: get their third on Sunday Night. That's really hard to do.

321
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: Meryl Street one and seventy nine for Kramers Kramer eighty

322
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: two for Sophie's Choice, does not win again till twenty

323
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: eleven for The Iron Lady Nicholson seventy five for Cuckoo's

324
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: Nest eighty three Terms of a Deerman doesn't win again

325
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: till ninety seven first goes it gets it is hard

326
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: to win a third, Oscar. I'll give you one more

327
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: stat granted he's canceled. Woody Allen wins Original Screenplay seventy

328
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: seven for Any eighty six for Hand and Her Sisters,

329
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: wins the third one in twenty eleven for Midnight in Paris,

330
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: and he was nominated a lot in between despite all

331
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: the scandals. So I know I'm jumping ahead, but I

332
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: think why Michelle Yaw in my mind's been surging for

333
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: a while, is that, like, you know, I don't know

334
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: that Michelle Yow. You know, I hope she's nominated again

335
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: in the rest of her career. Came Lynchet is like Lebron,

336
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: like every time she makes a movie, she can be

337
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: nominated every time. You know, you get the correlation. So,

338
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: and Spielberg is interesting because he's right there in the middle.

339
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: He has not win Best Director since ninety eight for

340
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: Saving Private Ryan. He's been nominated five or six times

341
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: since maybe four times. He's like seventy six years old.

342
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: And so I think initially you'd think, well, you got

343
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: to give him the oscar again because he's he's getting older.

344
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: But then you're like, but he's not slowing down, you

345
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean. He seems like he's in great health.

346
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: I hope he is. I love him like everybody. But

347
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: so I sort of wondered as the academy think, well,

348
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: it's Steven Spielberg, he'll be back. I mean, Clint is

349
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: ninety three and still making movies and some movies that

350
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: have contended, you know, in the last ten years, so

351
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: you know, look, I'm not ruling Spielberg out. One thing

352
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: also to point out to your listeners, which I think

353
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: is important, is that what's interesting, like with what you

354
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: guys do when you're obviously like handicapping the Super Bowl

355
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: and other games, is that you guys are seeing the

356
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: direct teams play weekend week out, and you're able to

357
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: like you're using the same metric for the most part.

358
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: Granted they're not. You're not seeing a Super Bowl matchup

359
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: ahead of time. But we have to remember about all

360
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: these Guild awards that everything everywhere is winning. They're all

361
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: comprised of different groups of people. One hundred thousand people

362
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: in SAG, over one hundred thousand people voted for SAG Awards. Right,

363
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: there's only ninety nine hundred Academy members. The DJA, I think,

364
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: has eighteen thousand people in it, and it's you know,

365
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: uniproduction managers, location managers, assistant directors, the Golden Globes. We

366
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: don't have to spend a minute on them. Nobody who's

367
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: ever voted for an Oscar is part of the Golden Globe.

368
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: So what you have to remember for Sunday is that

369
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: this is its own specific body that only portions of

370
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: make up all these other guilds, and so there is

371
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: no correct You really can never say like, oh, because

372
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: Austin Butler won the Bafta, he's gonna win like no,

373
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: Like there might be five hundred people that vote for

374
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: the BAFTAs that are in the Oscars. So my point

375
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: about Spielberg is that with the dga's yeah, he didn't win,

376
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: but that's happened many times where the DJA winner doesn't

377
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: go on to win Best Director. And the thing about

378
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: Daniels and I'm rooting harder for them. I know them,

379
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: their clients, they're wonderful guys. I'm so happy for them

380
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: is that they can win. They're in three categories. They're

381
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: nominated as producers for the movie, directors, and original screenplay.

382
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: So you know, one thing that could happen on Sunday

383
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 1: is there could be a split. And I'm gonna give

384
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: you some more data because i haven't even I've got

385
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: my data for you, which is to simply say, as

386
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: far as like Best Picture, Best Director split. Okay, in

387
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: the nineties, there was only one split. In the two thousands,

388
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 1: there were three splits. In the two thousand tents, there

389
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: were five years it's split. Now in this decade, we've

390
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: had two Oscars, it's already split once, so fifty fifty.

391
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: So you're seeing more and more that movies are dominating

392
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: less because one thing I was thinking about and preparing

393
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: for this is, you know, we're basically out of the

394
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: era of the historical sweeping drama that like wins seven

395
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: oscars nine oscars. The last major the last movie that

396
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: won like more than five oscars. The one Best Picture

397
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: or more than six oscars was Slumdog Millionaire. It won

398
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: eight Oscars in two thousand and eight, and before that,

399
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: Returned to the King won eleven Oscars in two thousand

400
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: and three. But before that you had lots of years

401
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: were like Chandler's List one seven, Dancail Wolves won seven,

402
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: Titanic one eleven, you know, English Patient one nine. In

403
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: the two tens, you really didn't see that. You saw

404
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: movies that were smaller win three oscars, four oscars, five oscars,

405
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: three oscars against stuff like that. So it's still anybody's game,

406
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: Like everything everywhere could actually win six or seven Oscars

407
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: because people thought it was always winning Supporting Actor for

408
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 1: Key weekwon, but Michelle y'all might win, And now all

409
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: of a sudden people think Jamie Lee Curtis is going

410
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: to win, So it could win three of the acting Oscars.

411
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: So if you pick up those three, and if you

412
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: do pick up Picture Director, Screenplay, and you pick up editing,

413
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: when now you won seven. So that's why this race

414
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: is so great because there's so many trends bucking in

415
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: so many different ways. And again my point is no

416
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: one knows because this body has not been probably it's

417
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: impossible to analyze them ahead of time. That's why it's fun.

418
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: That's also what makes Spielberg's so interesting, as like a

419
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: little taste on a long shot, right, Simon, think about

420
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: if you're betting futures everything Alasker just said, who knows,

421
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 1: Like the Academy might give the guys who produced and

422
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: directed Everything Everywhere Best Picture and Best Screenplay, and if

423
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: they split the vote on director, all of a sudden

424
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: that cats to Spielberg. Isn't that when we'd want to

425
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: place Spielberg at plus eight fifty. Was that like last

426
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: year or two years ago that we made that crazy

427
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: bet on this show. I think it was an Anthony

428
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: Hopkins movie that was like out of nowhere. This movie

429
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere, and it was one of those

430
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: where it was I think I think it was twenty

431
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: to one on our show, and by the time the

432
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: officers came around, it was all way down to two

433
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: to one. So those are the kind of things I'm

434
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: always looking for. Obviously, I'm waiting to hear him give

435
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: us some crazy long shots here. But that's wild that

436
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: they already have the directors of Everything Everywhere all once

437
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: at minus eighteen to one. That's that's crazy chat at

438
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, it's insane, And Simon, I think what

439
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: you have to do, like I can prove it somewhere.

440
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: I have an email, I correctly predicted Anthony Hopkins would

441
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: win for the Fall. Yeah, and no, I'm giving you

442
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: the credit. You nailed it well well. But the reason

443
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: I bring it up is that you have to go

444
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: a level and nothing you're not. You have to go

445
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: level deeper in thing. First of all, you have to

446
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: watch everything right. And I watched both of those movies

447
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: and no distracted Chadwick Boseman rap. It's horrible that he

448
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: died so young, but when you watched that movie, he's

449
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: really a supporting player in the movie. And when you

450
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: watched The Father, you're like, oh, this is like a

451
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: Shakespearean one man show. And it just sort of hit me,

452
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: like if you like, I always try to put my

453
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm not in the Academy. I hope i am one day,

454
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: but I always try to put myself in the head

455
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: of you have to think that everybody's watching the movies.

456
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of people who are naysayers,

457
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: and they say people aren't. I don't agree with that.

458
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: I think by and large, my friends that are in

459
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: the Academy, my clients, my colleagues, like, they take it seriously.

460
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: They try to watch everything. And if you had watched

461
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: those two movies, I think you would have thought, well,

462
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: am I only giving it to Chadwick because he unfortunately

463
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: passed away. That's not really a reason to give somebody

464
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: Academy award, And so I think that's where you always

465
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: have to go that level deeper, like with Angel Labassett

466
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: and Jamie Lee Curtis this year. Look, I adore Angel Labassett.

467
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: She's a genius. She's unbelievable. What's love got to do

468
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: with it? Which she was nominated for ninety three? You know,

469
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: Black Panther two was very good. It was not the

470
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: first movie for lots of reasons. And I think at

471
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's not that's not a

472
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: role people will typically win an Oscar for, and a

473
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: lot of people I think we're feeling, well, it's kind

474
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: of the career achievement. But it's the same thing with

475
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: Jamie Lee Curtis. She's another person who's been around for

476
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: a long time, grew up in the business. She's amazing

477
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: in the movie. And I do think, you know, you

478
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: have to get into that mindset of just literally like

479
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of what's the story behind the win

480
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: and like what do people feel about the movie. So

481
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: that's why I feel like this race is interesting. I

482
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: mean know we're gonna get there. The Best Actor race

483
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: is the trickiest race this year, one hundred percent. Like

484
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: that can go three different ways. I want to save

485
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: that one because yeah, I'm sorry, I apologize. It's like

486
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm hijack. No no, no, no no, no no. Listen, this

487
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: is a free flowing conversation, sometimes with mature subject matter. Okay,

488
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: the NBA season is heating up, and now is the

525
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: anybody not to bet everything everywhere or just to skip it,

526
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: because everything everywhere has such a huge lead in terms

527
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: of the odds minus seven hundred, like I said Banshees

528
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: of Nishier and plus eleven hundred. I thought Banshees was brilliant.

529
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: Of the movies that I saw this year, Bansheeses that

530
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: are that are nominated, Banshees All Quiet, Top Gun Tar Like,

531
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: I loved all of those Banshees. To me, just felt

532
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: like asking such a powerful question, like what is the

533
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: point of everything? Is it to leave the legacy no

534
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: matter the cost? Or is it live the best life,

535
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: happiest life in that moment that you can and who

536
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: cares if you're remembered. It's the next Stentril question. I

537
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: think we all ask it every single day. I didn't

538
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: love everything everywhere, so like I know it's going to win,

539
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: didn't love it too much for me. You're not the

540
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: only person I've talked to you not to aid you

541
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: over the age of fifty who's felt that way. One

542
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: thing with Banshees. This is my point earlier about the

543
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: streaming and I'm gonna make a crazy connection to something

544
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: and I need to throw out every caveat Okay, there's

545
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: an incredible Oscar book that just came out to seeing

546
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: This book called The Oscar Wards by Michael Schulman. A

547
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: lot of podcasts are talking about it. I started reading it.

548
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: It's excellent and he traces like eleven of the most

549
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: famous like Oscar races, ever, whatever you want to say

550
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: about Harvey Weinstein, and he obviously deserves to rot in

551
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: jail for the rest of his life, like the Harvey

552
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: Weinstein era, like had he been running the race of Banshees.

553
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: And it's not to knock you know, Fox, you know

554
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: who's behind it. Like it also connects to the fact

555
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: that you know, we're not most people are watching things

556
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: at home. And that's my point earlier that like in

557
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: the olden times, which is like five years ago, if

558
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: Banshees had just like played for five straight months and

559
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: there was a Harvey esque person behind it, not him,

560
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: forget about him, but keeping the the issue because you know,

561
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: I watched the movie, I really liked it, and I

562
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: was like, but wait, did I understand it? And I

563
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: started reading about it and started to understand the metaphors

564
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: about the Irish Civil War and like you said, wanted

565
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: to be remembered and wanted to do something with your life.

566
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: And there are people in the past I think that

567
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: have they have ways of keeping the themes of a

568
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: movie talked about longer and longer and longer. And I

569
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: don't think that always happened with Banshees in this in

570
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: this Race, because it's an excellent movie. People obviously love

571
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: Martin McDonough m So that's one thing we'll never know

572
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: because the streaming era, like we can't put that genie

573
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: back in the bottle. And I think unfortunately the Tars

574
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: of the World, I love Tar those movies are going

575
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: to probably be more streaming, you know, you know immediately,

576
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: and it's a bummer because you know, Chad, you're probably

577
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: the oldest here. I'm the second oldest, but you and

578
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: I remember enough and maybe you do two sime, and

579
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: we're like these these you know, so called indie adult

580
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: films they'd play for like five months, you know, like

581
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. Again, not to reference Harvey, but like,

582
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, they famously did a really good job on

583
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: the movie Philomena of the Judy Dench film and Steve Coogan,

584
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: where she played the nun who had to give up

585
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: her kid. It was a true story. They kept that

586
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: story about what happened to those nuns. They kept that

587
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: in the media for so long that maybe quietly made

588
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: tons of money, you know. And I still have to

589
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: believe that's possible, especially with something like everything everywhere. I

590
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: hope it's possible. But the studios, this is again another tangent.

591
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: They're going to have to have some faith and say,

592
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: you know what, We're not going to send Tar to

593
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: streaming after three weeks. We're gonna let Tar just be

594
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: in the theaters for four months and see what happens.

595
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: Because I still think adults they're still craving that type

596
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: of material. But my point is I think that's what

597
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: maybe hurt Banshees is it. I never feel like it'd

598
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: stayed in the conversation quite enough, But I could be wrong.

599
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it got nine nominations, and that's the movie

600
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: unfortunately that has the biggest risk of like not winning anything. No,

601
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think it's the streaming is

602
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: a help and hindrance. Right, I got to see more

603
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: movies that I might not have gotten to see, but

604
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: the less conversation because I don't have every single person

605
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: in my circle saying, oh my god, have you seen X.

606
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: You gotta go see X. Right, And because there's a

607
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: little bit of an effort, it's a little bit of

608
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: a surprise, there's a little bit of an experience. Different

609
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: experience when you know, pop it on and you're watching

610
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: it on your couch and it goes away and by

611
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: the time you see someone to talk about a movie again,

612
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: you've forgotten you've seen it. It's just a different experience. Well,

613
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: and it's like we're you know, we're in the social media.

614
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm thinking back again to date myself. I

615
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: was a freshman in college when Good Will Hunting came out.

616
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: You know, there were no smartphones, there was no Twitter.

617
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: People talked about good Will Hunting for four straight months.

618
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: It's all people could talk about, you know, like it

619
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: was sold out every night at the Century City fourteen

620
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: and Westwards doesn't even exist anymore. Like that's just what

621
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: would happen with these like great movies. You know, give

622
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: us your take, we're going to get the best actor,

623
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: because I do think I started recapping, let's take best Picture,

624
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: Best Director off because the odds are so or that

625
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: they're they're upside down for everything everywhere. Best actress, interesting race,

626
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: relatively even although even if the even though the odds

627
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: i'm looking at have Cape Blanchett a little bit shorter

628
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: than Michelle Yoo, Like are you I'm sorry they have

629
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: Michelle Yao is as shorter than Cape Latchet. But do

630
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: you put it? Do you take a flyer on Cape

631
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: Latchet or do we feel like this one is closed?

632
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: It's a total toss up. I mean, I think Michelle

633
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: Yao is gonna win. But yeah, I'm looking at the

634
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: odds you guys sent over. I mean, it's not like

635
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, what's so Michelle's minus one two five and

636
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: capelan Chet's minus one fifteen, like, I mean, it's a

637
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: it's a total toss up. I mean, look, Cape Blanchet

638
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: very likely could win. I talked to an academy about

639
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: her yesterday, who voted for her. I mean, she's astonishing

640
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: in Tar. I just feel like Michelle Yoo, it's a

641
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: different type performance. She has to play fifty versions of herself.

642
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: It feels like it has the momentum. And I also

643
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: feel like I don't expect Michelle Yaw unfortunately to like

644
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: be at the Oscars next year and the next m

645
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: capelyn Chet like reads the phone book, she'll be nominated

646
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: for an Oscar. So I was still go Michelle, Yeah,

647
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: but it doesn't look like there's not really a long

648
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: shot there. It's one of those two. The other three

649
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: actresses unfortunately, like have no no chance. So it doesn't

650
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: feel like it's a category you can make money on,

651
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: really in a meaningful way. Let me read the nominees

652
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: for actor Simon. If you've seen these movies, I'd like

653
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: your opinion. Brendan Frasier, The Whale, Austin Butler, Elvis, Colin Farrell,

654
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: Banshees of Innsharin, Paul Mscall after Son. I don't know

655
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: how to say his name? Bill ni living m Simon.

656
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: Have you seen any of these movies? Yeah, and it

657
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: feels honest. You like, Brendan Frasier's a lock. He's one

658
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: of those guys where I think no one Hollywood has

659
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: a bad word to say about him except that guy

660
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: that tried to ruin his life years ago. So it's

661
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: one of those moments where kind of had a raw

662
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: deal in life. He dealt with a lot of stuff

663
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: off screen, and you know, the business kind of blacklists him, right,

664
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: and this coming backstory, I mean, Chad, I think you know,

665
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: just as well as I America loves to build people

666
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: up just to tear him down, and I think he's

667
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: one of the great examples of that of this guy.

668
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: He was at the peak man. I mean, I can't

669
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: think of a single, you know, action movie that didn't

670
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: have him in there for a while, Like every little

671
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: thing he did was gold. And it was a nice

672
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: run by him. And then he disappeared, and you know,

673
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: we didn't know. I think most general fans didn't know

674
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: what was going on. We're just like, Okay, he spending

675
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: time with his family. Well, comes out he actually had

676
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on. Behind the scenes, and

677
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: you know, he's been making the rounds. I've been listening

678
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: to a lot of shows, and he's been jumping on,

679
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: doing a lot of podcasts and just getting no getting

680
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: his name out there and trying to get the hype

681
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: around his movie out there even more. And to me,

682
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: when I saw these odds, I thought he'd be closer

683
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: to minus four hundred. I'd be shocked, honestly if I

684
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: don't also wanted just because all the baggage and all

685
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: of his history, the fact that he's come back and

686
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: his performance is amazing, Like he really is amazing in

687
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: that movie. It's especially as a guy, it's tough to

688
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: really make me cry, and that was one of those

689
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: just the whole aspect of him, his daughter, it pulls

690
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: on the strings because it's so realistic and it's such

691
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: it's such from a different viewpoint of a man that's

692
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: really overweight and he's trapped in this body and he's

693
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: trapped on this couch. So you know, I wanted to

694
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: be Tom Cruise because I think Tom Cruise is old

695
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: one by the Academy for everything he's done for movies,

696
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: but he'll never get it for an action movie like

697
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: that there's not really acting like there is in the Whale,

698
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: where Brendan Frasier is really taken on this role. So

699
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't think I say, two months ago,

700
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: I didn't think he'd win it. But now if you're

701
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: listening to him all these different shows, just how much

702
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: everyone loves and respects him. I'm honestly interest here where

703
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: you're as opinion on this. I just feel like he

704
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: is a lock for it. So I've actually bet this one.

705
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: It's one of the few ones I've already bet that's

706
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: at minus one eighty. I just think he's the best

707
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: guy in this category of everything. He's overcome and then

708
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: he put on such an amazing performance. I just love

709
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: Brendan Frasier in the spot Wow. You said that beautifully.

710
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: I got nothing to add there, Lasker. I agree. I

711
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: mean I think that, look, this is the trickiest race

712
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: of the night, and you did It's yeah, it's Bill Nihees.

713
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: I think you kind of said it correctly. I think that,

714
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: look again, you have to go to the storyline, right

715
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: the storyline Brendan Frasier A Simon perfectly put is the

716
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: comeback that movie. He's amazing in the movie. The movie

717
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: didn't get as much grounds well as they wanted to,

718
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: didn't get a script nomination so forth, But he is

719
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: amazing in it, and Hong Chow also got nominated. Who's

720
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 1: really good in it, which shows you that there is,

721
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, some real support for it. Colin Farrell, it's

722
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: like he's the nomination of this year of everyone kind

723
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: of saying we've always loved you, Colin Farrell, and now

724
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: like you're in the club, and like he'll get nominated

725
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: five times the next ten years. Like everyone's just sort

726
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: of like your hand has been stamped and you could

727
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: now also like read the phone book and you'll get

728
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: a nomination again. And I did talk to Academy voter Yesterdy,

729
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: you said they're voting for him. And then the Butler

730
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: thing is interesting. He definitely had been like rising the

731
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: whole the whole way, you know, you know, he was

732
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: going upward the whole this whole run. I think what's

733
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: hurting him in the end. As a couple of things,

734
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: I actually think him like doing the accent on word

735
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: shows people were turned off by. But one thing to

736
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: point out is that typically it's the women and best

737
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: actress who get it like really young for like the first,

738
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: second or third or fourth movie, like a Jennifer Lawrence.

739
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: It's not typically the men. If you go back twenty

740
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: twenty five years, the men are all typically over like

741
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: forty or fifty getting Best Actor. I also think, and

742
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to throw shade in anybody, I love

743
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: all these people, but like they gave it to Rommi

744
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: Malik for Bohemian Rhapsody, and I think people kind of

745
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 1: like now question like did he really deserve it for that,

746
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, because he was just sort of like impersonating

747
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: Freddie Mercury and all the all the shows. And I

748
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: feel like I thought, also Butler was amazing and Elvis,

749
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: and I really liked Elvis. But it's kind of the

750
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: same thing. The movie is so kinetic and so much

751
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: of it's the performing that there's very few scenes where

752
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: you're just like, oh, Austin Butlers just getting just letting

753
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: They're just letting him act. And I think in the end,

754
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: it's like the Butler nomination is welcome to the party,

755
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: kid now show us the next grate ten things. There's

756
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: like an online rumor maybe he'll play Val Kilmer's role

757
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: if they do the new version of Heat based on

758
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: the new Michael ManBook he wrote that takes place in

759
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: the future. He's in the New Dune and at the

760
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: end of the day, like, I think it's gonna be frasier,

761
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: Like I think the story is too good. Again, if

762
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: you watch the five movies, he's kind of undeniable in

763
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: that in the makeup and watching him is it's so sad.

764
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, watching him like overeat at the frigerator, Like

765
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: I think, I think it'll be frasier. I mean, but

766
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: this one is one that, like when they opened it

767
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: up on Sunday night, you could go one or three

768
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: ways there'll be no and you wouldn't be surprised. So

769
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: I would bet frasier. But I don't know. I mean,

770
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to the you know, to the

771
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: final literally till they tear the envelope open. That movie

772
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: was so uncomfortable, you know, Like, And I think it's

773
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: interesting you talked about Top Gun earlier and sort of

774
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: the commercial success and can it win a Best Picture

775
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: or something like that, And I feel like people don't

776
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: give a weight enough weight to I think emotional residence

777
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: in movies, and they think about the technical they think

778
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: about a performance, they think about does it have dramatic weight,

779
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: emotional weight, But like I just mean, how does it

780
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: make you fucking feel? Like? I saw a top Gun

781
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,439
Speaker 1: in the theater twice. I haven't done that since top

782
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 1: came Top Gun came out like forty years ago. Like that,

783
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: it just was an amazing movie experience. You should get

784
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: more credit for that as a I think you're right.

785
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: I'll give you a different metric on Top Gun. I'll

786
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: see you're seeing it two times in the theater. What

787
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: I when I knew was special. I saw in the

788
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: theater opening day, loved it. I was on a series

789
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: of planes and I was with my wife and are

790
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: now seventeen month old, so like I couldn't watch anything.

791
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 1: I could just try to keep her from not crashing

792
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: the plane. But there would invariably be people in front

793
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: of me watching Top Gun on their laptops and on

794
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: the plane, and I would just watch it, not hearing anything,

795
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: like looking five feet up and I could watch the

796
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: whole thing. And that's when I sort of realized, like

797
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: this is special, Like you can watch this from ten

798
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: feet away not hearing anything, and you kind of know

799
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: what's going on and you can, you know, love the visuals.

800
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: So I agree with you. I mean, there is no

801
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: down Top Guns the movie of the years is so

802
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: interesting about Avatar making all the money it made, and

803
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: I hope James Cameron gets to make whatever he wants

804
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: because he's a genius. But like, I don't know, like

805
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: any adults over the age of twenty five who like

806
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: talked about the movie after they saw it. Apparently it's

807
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: just like humongous with teenagers on TikTok. And obviously they

808
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: got the China release and ash in China, which can

809
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: add a lot of money. But Top Gun, that was

810
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: the movie of the year. That was the movie everybody

811
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: talked about. It didn't matter if you were a Republican Democrat, old, young, white, black,

812
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 1: like just did not matter. Like yeah, so I agree

813
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: with you. And that's why a lot of people are

814
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: talking to feel like that's going to win Best Picture,

815
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: that you're going to see that split at the end.

816
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, if it wins, Tom Cruise gets

817
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: an oscar. He's one of the four credited producers, and

818
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: Christie McCary would get his second oscar. He won Original

819
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: Screen call Usual Suspects ninety five, David Ellison would get

820
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: an oscar. You know, David Ellison came to Hollywood seeing

821
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: as like the rich kids, son of Larry Ellison. But

822
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: the sky Dance has actually turned into like a humongous

823
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: company which has become really successful. And then finally Jerry

824
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: Bruckheimer would get an Oscar. So there's a lot of

825
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: good storylines. I'm for it. And I sort of went

826
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: on a tangent and lost my point about Brendan Fraser,

827
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: but he's so good in that movie. Yeah, the way

828
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: he physically tries to get up, Like also to have

829
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: someone talk about what it's like to be that big,

830
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: and you know, you see people like that and you

831
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: just you can't help it as yourself. How the fuck

832
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: did that happen? And like, yeah, he brought such humanity

833
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: to that idea. It was a really great exploration of grief.

834
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, not to get all actory,

835
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: but he has such expressive eyes and I feel like

836
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: there's so much in his eyes and that performance, you know,

837
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: it just yeah, I thought, I mean, I know a

838
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: lot of people who didn't like the movie for all

839
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: the reasons people would think of, but I thought he

840
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: was like astonishing in it. And you know he by

841
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: the way, he's been in a lot of Academy fair

842
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he was in Gods and Monsters, which one

843
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: Best after Screenplay in ninety eight, he was in Crash,

844
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: which one Best Picture, or controversially in two thousand and five,

845
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: controversially because people didn't like it and they think it's

846
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: the worst Best Picture winner ever. But I mean the artist, Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah,

847
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: I know, that's what's crazy. There's movies that win that

848
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: are of a moment that like no one's ever talked

849
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: about ever again, you know. And then there's movies you know,

850
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: your guys buddies at the Ringer, you know, they talk

851
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: a lot about The Social Network is their favorite movie

852
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: of the two thousand and tens, which I think is

853
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 1: a very worthy answer. And that didn't win that loss

854
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: of the King's Speech? Have you ever talked about the

855
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: King's Speech? But the Social Network that's like imprinted in

856
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: people's you know, consciousness. So oh, look, it's Saving Private

857
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: Ryan and Shakespeare in Love. Yeah, Like Shakespeare in Love

858
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: didn't it win Best Picture that year? And Saving Private

859
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: Ryan is the movie that still resonates twenty five years later. Yeah,

860
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: that's the one. You know that I mentioned that new

861
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: Oscar book that that is what people consider to be

862
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: the beginning of the Harvey Weinstein onslaught where they were

863
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: out for blood and they were figuring out ways to

864
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: compete and not you know what people have said, what's

865
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: in the book, haven't gotten there. But I mean I

866
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: remember living it is that they kind of started this

867
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: Whisper Whisper campaign that that same prep Ryan was only

868
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: good for the first twenty minutes. Then, yes, the first

869
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of the great twenty minutes ever put on film.

870
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: The rest of MOE was boring, and that's how they

871
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: like slowly inched their way in there. So I remember,

872
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they had Harrison Ford present Best

873
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: Picture that year because they do that sometimes they try

874
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: to connect someone to who they think is going to win.

875
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: And he obviously made all these movies with Spielberg, and

876
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,439
Speaker 1: when he reads Shakespeare Love you can tell that he's

877
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: like shocked himself. He's like, what the fuck did I

878
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: doing here for this? What is that? He's like, what

879
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: the fuck am I doing here for this? Exactly? And

880
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: by the way, one of my predictions for Sunday, I

881
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: think Tom Cruisel will present Best Picture despite being in

882
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: Top Gun. They've they've done it before. They've had Nicholson

883
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: was nominated for a Few Good Men, presented it to

884
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: Unforgiven to ninety two. Nicholson was in The Departed, presented

885
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: it to the Departed in two thousand and six. Like

886
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: they've done it, and I mean when Jimmy Kimmel hosted

887
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: both times, they had Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway present,

888
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: and they've been having a lot of like legends present

889
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. They had Liza Minelli last year.

890
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: They'd read a Moreno two years ago. My feeling is

891
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: it will be Tom Cruise. I mean, he's going to

892
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: the ceremony, he's been doing press and he's like the

893
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: president of Hollywood right now despite all the stuff that

894
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: comes with him. So you know, they have to find

895
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: a you know, like an ambassador to give out that award.

896
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 1: That's what's so funny about Tom Cruise is the public

897
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: perception is he's a nut job scientologist, crazy person. If

898
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: you talk to anyone in Hollywood, I mean anyone. Even

899
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: John Hamm was talking about it on a show Listened

900
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. He is the greatest actor

901
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: you can work with because he's always going one hundred

902
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 1: percent and he knows everyone's name. He knows the guy

903
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: who does the tape, you know, tapes the lights up

904
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: in the background, knows that guy's name and the guy's

905
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: kid's names. He's just one of those guys. He's very

906
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: I just feel like he's the old guard of Hollywood.

907
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: It's like that old guard that's kind of fading away.

908
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: We don't really have the he's a true superstar, Like no,

909
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: he is. I have these two friends at Paramount, this

910
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: woman Tamar Teifeld and this guy Brian Pianco. Tamart does

911
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: digital publicity, and Brian helps cut the trailers and oversees it.

912
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: Really and they were telling me, you know, at the

913
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: end of every mission, impossible movie, and I assumed it

914
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: happened on top Gun. Tom has like a luncheon for

915
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: all the marketing people, you know where they have with

916
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: this like three hour luncheon where everyone gets their picture

917
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: taken with him. He you know, talks everybody like he's

918
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: really into that. Like it takes five hundred people to

919
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: make a movie and to release a movie and to

920
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: market a movie, and you know, there were a lot

921
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: of people who went to Richard Lovett, who's the president

922
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: of CIA, which represents Tom Cruise forever. They went to

923
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: him in the in the beginning of the pandemic. I

924
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: mean I saw, I mean, I knew the people that

925
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: were calling him saying, get Tom Cruise to put this

926
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: on streaming tomorrow. Put it out fourth the July. Charge

927
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks. You'll laugh all the way to the bank.

928
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: And I believe, I can't confirm I believe. I mean,

929
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: well you kind of know now, I mean definitely paramount.

930
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: They all went to Tom and said, let's just do streaming,

931
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: and he was like, no, this is for the movies.

932
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: And I remember, just as a movie goer, like, oh man,

933
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: it's coming out of Christmas. Shit, it's not coming out

934
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: of anymore now. It's like just annoyed, you know, like

935
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been waiting for these missional Apostle movies

936
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: for two years now. Those are my favorite movies to watch.

937
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: So he hung in there. He knew what everybody wanted

938
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: and he was right. So it's yeah, this year people

939
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: love to bemoan Hollywood. Oh the movies are getting so bad.

940
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: It's all about TV. It's been a great year for movies.

941
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: There's been some amazing films this year, amazing foreign films,

942
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: amazing documentaries. That's those are good races too. I mean,

943
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: maybe it's the Navalni talk. Maybe it's the talk about

944
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: the two people that like go to volcanoes. There's there's

945
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 1: a lot of good toss ups. Who is our It's

946
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: hard to say because it feels like the top two

947
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: in each category are pretty locked. But is there a

948
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: as you look at the landscape, long shot you think

949
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: can come from longer odds to claim a little gold man.

950
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: This is the problem. Despite what I was saying that

951
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 1: there's only one body, which is the Academy, and no

952
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: one can predict them because you have all the precursor awards.

953
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: It is very very rare that there's a true surprise,

954
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: like Anna Paquin winning for the Piano, or Rissa Toomey

955
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: winning for my cousin Vinnie, or like Olivia Coleman winning

956
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: Best Actress in twenty eighteen for the Crown over Glenn Close,

957
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: or not the Crown for the Favorite. Again, excuse the pun, no,

958
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: I think I think the Jamie Lee Curtis surprise has

959
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: already rooted its head. I mean if you go into

960
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,919
Speaker 1: the everything everywhere like is gonna like dominate. I also

961
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: could see Stephanie Sue. I think, hey a pronounce her

962
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: last name. She could win because she's really amazing in

963
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: that movie. Like she's kind of comes that movie and

964
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: blows everybody off the screen. Yeah. No, I think actress

965
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: is fifty to fifty between Michelle and Kate. Actor. We

966
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: talked about supporting actress of Locke. I mean I've thought

967
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: about it. I don't think like maybe if we find

968
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: out Monday morning there was a massive Banshee surge, then yeah,

969
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: watch Brendan Gleeson win, and then you'll know if Brendan

970
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: Gleeson win supporting actor at the top of the night,

971
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: you'll know, Oh Banshee's ended up being everyone's a favorite movie.

972
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: But how do you turn down the key quon? I

973
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,439
Speaker 1: mean it's it's too good. I mean he's short round,

974
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: he's data from goodies, like the guy lost his health insurance,

975
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: Like he's gonna win, he needs to win. It's kind

976
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: of no different than the guy who went for Koda

977
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: last year. You know Troy Cotzer, who you know's death.

978
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 1: Uh No, I mean I think um no, I mean sadly,

979
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: I know this helps you guys, Like I don't think

980
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: there's like a crazy long shot. We didn't talk about

981
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: adapted screenplay. That's gonna you talk about adapted. But I

982
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: have a very strong case for why I think someone

983
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 1: a specific movie should win original, So talk about adapted. Well,

984
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: so adapted. You know it's gonna be either Sarah Paully

985
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: for women Talking, or it's gonna be All Quiet on

986
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 1: the Western Front. Now, Sarah Pauli won the WJA Adapted

987
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: Award over the weekend, but All Quiet on the Western

988
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: Front wasn't eligible because it's not the guys who wrote

989
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 1: it or not in the guild. I am in this

990
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: All Quiet on the Western Front surge where I feel

991
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: like the movie was highly decorated. People love it. It's

992
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: gonna win a lot of tab and Goal awards, and

993
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 1: I vote for that to win. I would love Sarah

994
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: Pauli one. I thought that movie was excellent and she

995
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: did an incredible job adapting it. She should have been

996
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: nominated for Best Director. It's going to be one of

997
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 1: those two. So again, I don't know there's like a

998
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: long shot in there, but it's kind of fifty fifty.

999
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: What's your take on Original screen Let me just say

1000
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: real quickly. Women Talking is minus two forty on Best

1001
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: Adapted Screenplay, All Quiet on the Western Front plus two forty.

1002
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: Glass Oniona Knives Out Mystery, which was pretty terrible in

1003
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: my opinion, is plus twenty three hundred. I just thought

1004
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: it was like derivative and just not like the first

1005
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 1: one was so original, and this one felt a little

1006
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: bit too much like it was playing to pop culture.

1007
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: I think Banshees at plus one hundred for Best Original Screenplay,

1008
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: Everything Everywhere, I think it's minus one fifty. I could

1009
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: see Banshee's winning it because Everything Everywhere Where is going

1010
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: to get so much attention. Best Supporting Actor and Best Actress,

1011
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: Best Director's Best Picture. Martin McDonagh is so good and

1012
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: I think he's so beloved amongst the writing community, and

1013
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: this is a brilliant movie. This is a spot where

1014
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: you're getting a little bit of value at plus one hundred. Look,

1015
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 1: I think that this is a really good bet to take.

1016
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: You know, it will be shocking to me if Bianchees

1017
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: comes away with nothing on Sunday and people love Martin McDonough.

1018
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: He was kind of the lock to win Original Screenplay

1019
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen for three Billboards and then get Out

1020
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: Surge and Jordan Peel one, which, by the way, I

1021
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: think was the right choice in the end, because talk

1022
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: about an original screenplay, this is definitely one where you

1023
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: have to think because remember the Academy for your listeners,

1024
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: the individual branches nominate each branch, right, so the writers

1025
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: nominate the writing awards, but for the actual Academy Awards

1026
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: for the show, every single member votes for everything. So

1027
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: you have cinematographers voting for writing, and you have directors

1028
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,399
Speaker 1: voting for writing and and so forth. So you could

1029
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: you could look at it sort of like people are thinking, well,

1030
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: I want to spread the wealth basically, and I'm not

1031
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: voting for Banshees and the director and picture. And again

1032
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: the Daniels are eligible for three of these Oscars. So

1033
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a really good bet. I mean, people

1034
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: love that movie. People feel like this guy is like

1035
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: the writer's writer, you know, he's this amazing playwright. Um,

1036
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 1: it's not it's not a bad bet to take at all. Simon,

1037
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: look at that. Look at me. Whyse guy handicapping the Oscars?

1038
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: Now you're locked in. I'm so good at this, I

1039
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: should just move to La and I should work at

1040
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: Mosaic just he Yeah, come on, we've got We've got

1041
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 1: an office for you. We have a podcast studio. Um,

1042
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: I think we've gone through everything, Simon. I mean, you

1043
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: want to give some love to our guy, Chris Raybond

1044
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: what he likes Rihanna to win Best Song at Plus

1045
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: four thirty Lift me Up. I believe it's the Wakanda

1046
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: Forever Black Panther, So obviously we need to get a

1047
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: little lucky. I like his his reasoning for it. Don't

1048
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: bet against Rihanna. So I just wanted to get that

1049
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: in there. Chris Raybon he likes for the best Song.

1050
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,720
Speaker 1: Here's what's interesting about song, right, is that the only

1051
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: song that actually like elevated itself to being something people

1052
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: talked about was Not Too not To from RRR, which

1053
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: is an awesome song that's a big favorite right now.

1054
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: The other the other songs, they're all excellent, but they're

1055
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 1: just sort of like like even the Lady Gaga and

1056
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: I saw somebody who I really respect, they picked it

1057
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: to win. It's like nobody even remembers that song. At

1058
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: the end of the movie, it was like cool, they

1059
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: got Lady Gaga to do it. Yeah, like usually the

1060
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: song I mean, you know, like eminem one, you know,

1061
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: for Lose Yourself, right, Mile that's the best example because

1062
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: like that's what the movie is about, and it is

1063
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: organically inside the movie. And he was obviously the hottest

1064
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: thing in the world at that point. But like people

1065
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: are like on the Rihanna train because of the super Bowl.

1066
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: She was incredible, but like I haven't heard I don't

1067
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:07,439
Speaker 1: even know if i've I saw the movie, I can't

1068
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: even remember what the song was. Oftentimes the song that wins,

1069
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: it's the song that people literally have heard the most

1070
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: because it you know, there was a crescendo created that

1071
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: would be not Touna Too from r R, which a

1072
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: lot of people thought actually had a chance of getting

1073
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: a Best Picture nomination. So I would still go with Notatunato.

1074
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: I will say that the opening bars of Lift Me

1075
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: Up are pretty freak and powerful, Like I definitely went

1076
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:41,479
Speaker 1: into a Rihanna wormhole after the super Bowl and those

1077
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: first couple of dog walks were all Rihanna playlists and

1078
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: and she was that that song is unbelievable, Like she

1079
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: comes out all power and glory, so I'm with I

1080
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: could I like ray Bunds tact, but you know, I

1081
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: gotta go with what am I gonna do? Go against Laskar. No,

1082
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: by the way, I could easily be wrong as all

1083
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 1: the way till Sunday when I do like a pool

1084
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: inside of my home. Uh, Lascar, I think we covered everything.

1085
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: We did it, guys, we did it. Always a pleasure

1086
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: to be here. I mean, you're not even giving any

1087
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: oscar trivia. You're not quizzing me anymore. We're like, we're

1088
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: past all of it. We are. We're just into what

1089
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 1: can you tell us to make us some money? And

1090
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: I think you've done that for us. I think there's

1091
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: some parlay opportunities here, get some better odds. Are you

1092
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: prepared for oscar trivia? Do you have one Oscar trivia question?

1093
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,479
Speaker 1: Like we can throw at you and say, you know, try,

1094
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I mean, I'm always you know,

1095
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would like to know the nominees.

1096
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 1: We'll see if you can get or not. Okay, we'll

1097
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: see if you can get or not. The year that

1098
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: Rocky won for all the awards, Yeah, investor Stallone wrote

1099
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: the movie Yeah. Nominees for Original screenplay that year that

1100
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: he won. Well, I don't. I mean, I'm ashamed. I'm

1101
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: not sure I can give you that and give you

1102
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: the Best Picture nominees? Would that suffice about seventy six?

1103
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: Would that do it? Okay? Yeah, because that is one

1104
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: of the most famous years ever. Because the paradox is

1105
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: that people are happy that Rocky won, and they're happy

1106
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: with that years later. But it was up against all

1107
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: these other modern classics. So Rocky won, and it was

1108
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 1: against all the Presidents Men Network, Taxi Driver, and then

1109
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: Bound for Glory. Bound for Glory is the lesser known

1110
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 1: of the five movies. Those are the five nominees and

1111
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: seventy six. So Rocky, all the President's Men, Network, Taxi Driver,

1112
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 1: Bound for Glory, and I mean that's just a murderers

1113
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 1: row of movies. I mean, if you think about it,

1114
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: you basically have four bona fide classics. I mean, there's

1115
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: forget about Bound for Glory, which is a very good movie,

1116
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: the Taxi Driver Network, all the Presidents Been In Rocky

1117
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: are still four movies that are talked about every single day.

00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, in like modern culture. All came out the
