ReOscared Episode 001: 2006

Welcome to ReOscared, the show where we look at Hollywood’s biggest night and determine what the Academy got right—and where they went horribly wrong. This week: 2006!

In our inaugural episode, we look at the 2006 Oscars, and boy were they a doozy. There was a lot of controversy over Best Picture with Crash beating out Brokeback Mountain, but there was also a whole lot of Clooney and plenty of Participant Media. Plus, we take a look at the odd career trajectories of Terrence Howard and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, both of whom are in this year’s nominees Hustle & Flow and Crash. And, as always, we’ll give our picks for who should have won all the top-line categories. This, and a whole lot more, so give it a listen.
