Description

Listen to a breakdown of Best Original Screenplay, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture in the final Oscar Contenders episode! Sophia and Nick list the nominees and their wins during this awards season to try to predict who will win the Academy Award this week. They also include their write-in votes, who they think should win, and who they think will ultimately take home the gold!First, they dive into Original Screenplay (1:21) and Adapted Screenplay (10:45). Both writing categories could result in monumental wins for female screenwriters, but which has turned into the more contentious race?The group of Best Director nominees already accounted for an Academy first, but there’s a good chance that another achievement may be in store on Sunday (20:57). Will Chloe Zhao’s awards haul solidify her new status as Industry Darling? Also listen for a sneak peak of each nominee’s next project.Lastly, they debate if there could there be an upset with Best Picture? Which contender might have the best chance at doing so? And as they will hopefully get to one day, they finish the discussion by ranking their nominees in a preferential ballot. (29:46)Music: “The Greatest Adventure” by Jonathan Adamich
