It is extremely likely that films such as Barbie and Oppenheimer will be nominated for multiple categories at the Oscars this year. Is this decision justified, or are there other underrated films more worthy of awards recognition? In today’s episode of Podcast Racing, I will share my personal picks for Best Picture, Director, and Acting if I were in charge of the Oscars along with my very good friends MARYANN and BRIAN. I hope you enjoy :)
SPOILERS for the movies below:
Anatomy of a Fall
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Barbie
Ferrari
The Godfather
Killers of the Flower Moon
Oppenheimer
(NOTE: This episode was recorded before the Oscar nominations were announced. In addition, I would now replace my own nomination for Erika Alexander with Emily Blunt. Also, Brian mentioned that he had not seen Poor Things at the time of recording. Since recording this episode, he has seen the movie and would definitely nominate it for several categories.)
