    Welcome, people of the jury, to the inaugural episode of Anatomy of an Oscar! In this show, your hosts exhume the corpse of the 2018 Academy Awards and ask: Did the Academy get it right? For our first episode, we are diving headfirst into an exciting category: Best Director. What happens when five first-time nominees in this category go head- to-head? How are we able to contrast the three established names finally getting their industry recognition with two of the most exciting new voices in American film? What happened between the start of the season and nominations that bumped major players Martin McDonagh and Luca Guadagnino out of the race? And what does this year mean for the upcoming Oscars in 2026? all this and more in: Anatomy of an Oscar! Enjoy the first episode in this feed drop and check out the rest of the show here.
