Oscar Podcast #27: Fall Festivals, What’s Up with Miles Ahead with special guest Anne Thompson (Thompson on Hollywood)

In this summertime podcast I’m joined by special guest Anne Thompson of Thompson on Hollywood at IndieWire. Anne is a gal in the know and having her on this podcast is a treat. We’re talking about the fall festivals, what may or may not be happening with Sony Pictures Classics’ Miles Ahead, possible category fraud this season and we look at each of the major studios in the Oscar hunt:

What is Sony Pictures Classics‘ #1: I Saw the Light or Miles Ahead or Son of Saul?

What is 20^th Century Fox’s #1? Joy or The Martian or The Revenant?

What is The Weinstein Company’s #1? Carol? The Hateful Eight?

What is Warner Bros‘ #1? Black Mass or Our Brand Is Crisis?

What is Focus Features’ #1? The Danish Girl or Suffragette?

What is Fox Searchlight’s #1? Youth or Brooklyn?

All this and more in a tight 40 minutes!

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.

He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
