Summary

For Episode 481, Amy Kim, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, and Ben Langford join me for a jam-packed episode two weeks before the 98th Academy Awards. We discuss the fallout from the BAFTA Awards, including the John Davidson controversy, the seismic news of Paramount purchasing Warner Bros. Discovery, the Producers Guild of America (PGA) winners, along with the American Cinema Editors (ACE), Art Directors Guild (ADG), and Visual Effects Society (VES) award winners this week. We also give our predictions for what we feel will win tonight's Actor Awards and reveal the winners for our 2025 NBP Film Awards (You can see the Community Winners here). For the Actor Awards, in last week's poll, we asked everyone, "Which Was Your Favorite Oscar-Nominated Acting Performance Of 2025?" and now, for this week's poll, with our final Oscar winner predictions episode approaching next week, we're asking, "Which Film Do You Think Should Be The Next Best Picture Oscar Winner?" We also give our reactions to the trailers for "The Christophers," "Hamlet" (Yes, another one), "Mortal Kombat II," answer your fan-submitted questions, and more.
