First, David Canfield catches up with Women Talking writer and director Sarah Polley and star and producer Frances McDormand, who see that film's awards trajectory as much bigger than whatever happens on Oscar night. Then Katey Rich talks to Pamela Ribon about the whirlwind of attention around her Oscar-nominated short My Year of Dicks— the title that everybody cannot stop talking about.
