Welcome to the Oscar podcast that looks past the final nominees and homages the films and actors that fared well throughout awards season but couldn't pick up an Oscar nomination.

  1. Ed Wood & 1994 Best Picture w/ Andrew Carden

    10/07/2022

    Ed Wood & 1994 Best Picture w/ Andrew Carden

    Hollywood loves movies about themselves, or do they...? (p.s. sorry for the choppy audio at times, I guess Ed Wood snuck into this episode in more ways than one.)

  2. Sally Hawkins in Happy-Go-Lucky & 2008 Best Actress w/ Christof

    09/16/2022

    Sally Hawkins in Happy-Go-Lucky & 2008 Best Actress w/ Christof

    Should Sally Hawkins have received her first Oscar nomination for Mike Leigh's 2008 dramedy? And could she have bested Kate Winslet to the top prize?

  3. Andie MacDowell in Sex, Lies and Videotape & 1989 Best Actress w/ Will Steele

    09/02/2022

    Andie MacDowell in Sex, Lies and Videotape & 1989 Best Actress w/ Will Steele

    If the Academy awarded Oscars for titles alone, Sex, Lies and Videotape would take the cake. And if the Best Actress category respected indies, so would the perennially underrated Andie MacDowell. Also, stay tuned for the Pfeiffer v. Tandy discourse.  Will's Twitter: @_AlmostOriginal | Letterboxd: @steele98 James' Twitter: @jimmykunovski | @outofoscarpod | Letterboxd: @jameskuno  Intro Song: "Awards" by Alexi Action

    Hud & 1963 Best Picture w/ Fritz

    If the Academy was ever a stickler for quantity over quality, 1963 would be their poster child.  The wonderful Fritz joins for this discussion that covers Martin Ritt's cynical anti-hero western Hud (5:12). We also chat about the category's mammoth-sized films, America America (23:40), Cleopatra (42:50) and How the West Was Won (1:06:40), with the short and sweet Lilies of the Field (1:16:43) a nice break. Then, it's time for Best Picture victor Tom Jones (1:25:26). Listen to that segment for a perspective you don't often hear...

    Mulholland Drive & 2001 Best Picture w/ Brian Rowe

    A David Lynch discussion always warrants starting at the end and working forward. Take a drive with us down Mulholland Drive… Spoilers incoming! Watch out for the roadblocks aka the 2001 Best Picture nominees. For an in-depth analysis of everything Mulholland Drive, check out Brian’s 20th Anniversary episode over at Film at Fifty.

  7. Hanna Schygulla in The Marriage of Maria Braun & 1979 Best Actress w/ Eoin Daly

    06/24/2022

    Hanna Schygulla in The Marriage of Maria Braun & 1979 Best Actress w/ Eoin Daly

    Never a better day to chat Fassbinder. Schygulla missed out on the Oscar for the likes of Field, Fonda, Clayburgh, Mason and Midler. Should she have been nominated alongside that group?

    06/10/2022

    Pam Grier in Jackie Brown & 1997 Best Actress w/ Sam Meltzer

    We naturally gave Pam Grier her flowers, though Julie Christie in Afterglow did take over the chat.  Sam's Twitter: @SamTheParasite Sam's Pod: @TODGTpodcast (And the Oscar Doesn't Go To) Sam's Letterboxd: @sammeltzer James' Twitter: @jimmykunovski | @outofoscarpod James' Letterboxd: @jameskuno Intro Song: "Awards" by Alexi Action
