Award Shows Babe, What Do You Know About?

    • Society & Culture

Ever find yourself marveling at the unlikeliest of intellects in the animal kingdom, like that of killer whales off the coast of Portugal? Well, we've got that quirky opener covered, but we quickly segue into the more human-centric milestones of life in our latest episode—celebrating big birthdays and the sweat and success of recommitting to fitness routines. Then we pivot to the glittering yet troubled world of award shows, dissecting everything from viewership woes to the unexpected financials winners face and Barbie's surprising box office award nominations.

Our journey through the entertainment industry doesn't stop there, as we recount a fascinating brush with EDM sensation Alan Walker and discuss the global music represented at the Grammys—or the lack thereof. We raise a glass to Zolani Mahola's Grammy win, question the Emmy's proliferating categories, and peek behind the curtain at the differing voting bodies of the Golden Globes versus the Oscars. Can these institutions regain their sparkle for the Snapchat generation? We're brainstorming live.

As we wrap, we take a moment to appreciate the tear-jerking Oscar dedications to family and the unforgettable performances that define the night. The pressure is palpable for celebrities in the limelight, and we're dissecting that too, alongside the intricate dance we all do with celebrity culture. From healthy admiration to all-consuming fandom, we muse over our personal take on these gleaming events and the entertainment they celebrate, leaving you with plenty to ponder until the curtain falls on the next award season.
