As award season reaches its climax in the US, Unexpected Elements holds its own glitzy ceremony.
Which bit of science will win Best Picture? Who will take home the Best Supporting Actor? And will Prof Elaine Chew play us out with her Best Original Music?
The nominations include a particularly noisy tiny fish, a sweating mannequin, and a composition based on a misbehaving heartbeat. All this plus your correspondence and a discussion of how far science infuses the real Academy Awards.
Presented by Marnie Chesterton with Godfred Boafo and Camilla Moto.
Featuring pianist Elaine Chew, Professor of Engineering at Kings College London.
Produced by Alex Mansfield, with Tom Bonnet, Harrison Lewis, Dan Welsh and Katie Tomsett.
