Beautiful children?? Immense Wealth?? Genuine happiness and a feeling of self worth?? NO! Not even close…obviously we’re referring to winning an Academy Award for BEST PICTURE.

Thanks again to everyone that has listened to The Ranking! This is our final episode in this first run, and we had a total blast doing something a little different than our usual show…expect another batch of 4 episodes later in the year! Until then, look at out for SEASON 2 of Hollywood Week – The Podcast…now launching TUESDAY, JULY 21st! We were forced to delay because of Christopher Nolan being forced to delay “Tenet”…so write the angry letters to him (or Kasen)!
Time stamps below for anyone that wants to skip past “Best Sound Editing in A Foreign Animated Short Film” and just get to the good stuff…
