027: Oscar's Wrap Up

About this episode

Azed and Tom provide a wrap-up of the 2026 Academy Awards, discussing its highlights and lowlights.

The Acadamy Awards is known for being a self-congratulating, elitist, popularity contest soaked in cringe inducing segments and usually that is an accurate description. The 2026 show thankfully seemed to focus a little bit more on the actual quality of the films nominated. Yes, there were the usual awkward, phony-baloney things going on, but with a spate of excellent features, docs and technical achievements the Oscar's are actually becoming relevant again. Azed & Tom do a quick and dirty wrap up of the actual Oscar's ceremony, the good, the bad and the ugly (The Bum Drum?). Also, a surprise announcement revealing our participation in an upcoming cool project!
