Hey everyone!
We’ll have my typical weekly newsletter hitting in the next day or so (it’s been a busy week), but I wanted to make sure to get this latest episode of We’re Watching Here posted today while there’s still time to talk this week’s Oscars.
It should be no surprise that I was very happy with the results of Sunday’s 95th Academy Awards. My favorite movie of the year, Everything Everywhere All at Once, was the night’s big winner, taking home not only Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, but also winning awards in three out of the four acting categories, as well as a trophy for editing. I still remember seeing this movie almost exactly a year ago and thinking “what a brilliant little movie — too bad it will be too weird for audiences and award bodies.” So, to sit here today and realize it was recognized as the best film of 2022 makes me feel pretty good.
No one I know loves the Oscars or is as knowledgeable about them as my co-host, Perry. And so, it only made sense that our latest episode of We’re Watching Here talk about our reaction to the show and the winners. Perry had the great idea for us to rank our preferences for Best Picture, and I found it to be a great way to talk about these films one last time.
I hope you enjoy this episode; it was a lot of fun to record! We’ll have another We’re Watching Here in April, continuing our look at the films of Robert Altman.
Like I said, more to come this weekend. But I hope you love this episode! (Note: There was a point where I made a flub and said I’d edit it out, but upon going through the recording, I couldn’t find it. In the interest of getting this up, I figured I’d just go ahead and release it as is).
