About this episode
The episode covers the highlights of the 98th Academy Awards, including major winners and industry news.
The 98th Academy Awards are done, and Paul Thomas Anderson walked away with the night. We break down all the major Oscar winners - including Michael B. Jordan's long-overdue Best Actor win for Sinners, Autumn Durald making history as the first woman ever to win Best Cinematography, and why One Battle After Another's six-Oscar sweep felt completely earned. Plus: Bradley Cooper is now writing, directing AND starring in the Ocean's Eleven prequel alongside Margot Robbie. Amazon is rebranding its ad-free tier as "Prime Video Ultra" and charging you more for the privilege. Bungie's Marathon gets its first review - and it's complicated. And KPop Demon Hunters had an absolutely brilliant Oscar night. Read all our reviews and more on our website here You can follow Alaisdair on Instagram here
