About this episode

The episode explores alternative Oscar outcomes and discusses the impact of various moments on Academy history.

The Oscars are supposed to be the final word on the best film of the year. But every movie fan has at least one moment where the envelope opens, and the reaction is: wait… what? This week on The Reel Debaters , we step into the cinematic multiverse and debate the Oscars that almost were. If a single vote, campaign, or moment of momentum had shifted, the Academy’s history might look very different. And what else would Oscar week be like with a conversation about good old Timothy Chalamet stepping on his own campaign with not-so-kind words about the ballet and opera, which gets a little attention as well.
