Oscar Podcast #25: The Danish Girl, Joy and Sicario with special guest Nathaniel Rogers from The Film Experience

Published by

In this podcast, Gold Rush Gang members Chris Pepper, Jason Osiason and myself welcome Nathaniel Rogers from The Film Experience to the show. We start off with Best Picture predictions talking about Carol, Joy, Bridge of Spies and Sicario from Denis Villenueve. Don’t forget to roll that ‘r.’

Then we head over to Best Actress to discuss if the lineup will be entirely made up of the last five winners in this category or if there’s room for a newcomer like Alicia Vikander. With her category placement still a mystery she could land anywhere. Nathaniel also warns to never discount Meryl Streep even when it seems like you should. We discuss the women’s and equal rights films that make up a good deal of contenders in this category and what impact they’ll have on the race.

The Best Actor conversation spends a lot of time on Bradley Cooper in Adam Jones and Jake Gyllenhaal in Demolition (and to a lesser extent, Southpaw) with time spent on Tom Hiddleston’s chances for his Hank Williams biopic, I See the Light.

Sit back and enjoy!
