This episode is brought to you by The Message, a new podcast series from GE Podcast Theater.

Hi, Mickey Tomlin here, and I'm the host of The Message.

I'll be following a team of elite cryptographers as they decode a highly classified radio transmission.

To sum it up, extraterrestrials, the message on iTunes. Hello and welcome to Little Gold Men, an award season podcast from Vanity Fair.

I'm Katie Rich, the Hollywood editor of vanityfair.com and I'm here as always with Vanity

Fair's digital director Mike Hogan.

Hi Mike. Hey Katie.

And Vanity Fair's film critic Richard Lawson.

Hi.

Hello.

This week we're having a bit of a crossover episode with the fantastic Hollywood History Podcast you must remember this

which is also part of the panoply network. Host Karina Longworth will join us to

talk about Super producer David O Selznick and his campaign to win Gone With the Win a Best Picture Oscar.

From there we'll pick some films with the potential to surprise us this year's Oscar season.

And then we'll talk about the bane of many people's Oscar season's category fraud.

What is it? Is it a dirty trick or just how the game is played?

Finally, we'll go big before we go home and predict who we think will win the best supporting actor

Oscar this year. So we'd like to welcome our guest Karina Longworth who is the

host of the podcast You Must Remember This, which Karina in your words is about the secret and or forgotten history of Hollywood's first century

Karina thank you so much for joining us

thanks for having me

we've wanted to have you on little gold men since the show began, but your episode this week felt like a really good entry point because it's focusing on one of the first big movies that really swept the Oscars, or at least one of the ones that we really remember today,
