Oscar Podcast #45: Jackie, Independent Spirit Nominations, the Silence trailer and the return of Joey Nolfi
In this 45th AwardsWatch Oscar podcast, I welcome the return of Joey Nolfi from Serving Cinema. After a record-breaking podcast last month, we go at it again – this time talking a lot about Fox Searchlight‘s Jackie, both our love of the film and its Oscar chances. We mull over the Independent Spirit Award nominations that were announced this week and wonder how Rebecca Hall missed out on a nomination for Christine and if there is a path for her at SAG a la Sarah Silverman last year. Then there’s the release this week (finally!) of the trailer for Paramount Pictures‘s Silence.
We end on the release of the Gilmore Girls – A Year in the Life, which was released by Netflix today and bit about NBC’s This Is Us. Let’s just say I was surprised by Joey’s response to it and leave it at that.
In between all of this movie and TV talk you’ll find copious amounts of shade so get your wig glue ready, you’ll need it.
