Oscar Podcast #46: State of the Race, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Predictions
This 46th Oscar podcast, recorded Sunday, December 11th, finds Gold Rush Gang member Júlia Albuquerque and myself talking about the first huge batch of critics awards to roll in: National Board of Review, New York Film Critics, Los Angeles Film Critics and more.
Then we head over to our Golden Globe nomination predictions for tomorrow and our thoughts on the Screen Actors Guild nominations (Dec. 14).
These two award bodies have us bewildered and flummoxed with so many potential nominees in the mix.
Will it be Arrival? Fences? Hacksaw Ridge? Hell or High Water? Hidden Figures? La La Land? Lion? Manchester by the Sea? Moonlight? Sully? Silence?
If you enjoy AwardsWatch’s podcasts, please take a moment to fill out this very brief survey. Thanks!!
