Summary

For Episode 483, I am joined by Nadia Dalimonte, the day before the 98th Academy Awards, to discuss what's on our minds, how we're feeling, and answer your last-minute fan questions. We have traditionally done this with the NBP Film Community in years past. Still, circumstances this year pushed this to be a last-minute episode for the podcast before the big show tomorrow evening. With that said, we reveal the winner of last week's poll, asking, "Which Film Do You Think Will Be The Next Best Picture Oscar Winner?" We also share our reactions to the trailers for "Power Ballad," "Hokum," "Obsession," and "Fuze." We're as anxious as all of you, but in less than 24 hours, we'll know the final outcome. We cannot wait to experience the show with all of you! Once again, thank you for listening, subscribing, and supporting us through another fun and eventful awards season. Enjoy!

And the Oscar goes to...

0:01.8

Oh, thank you so much. This might be the one time I'm speaking. This is not a joke. Moonlight has won best picture. Could you double check the envelope? And I can't deny the fact that you like me. Thank you, life, thank you love. Where did we fall in the movie? And Maria is see Alpineheim. At the movie theater. This is nuts. It's a top. I'm the king of the world!

And the Oscar goes to... And the Oscar goes to. Gentlemen, my only object in being here is to try and get out of the truth. Watch like a watch like this. He's looking at you, Kent. Rightly my idea I don't give him. It could have been a contender. Passing you. I could have been somebody. They could only kill me with a golden wood. What have I done? Oh me, Mr. Tibbs. I'm gonna make him an awful again. The census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some father me. For Frodo. For Frodo. I scared.. I'm afraid. I can't stop watch coming. This ain't reality TV. I'm all not falling to despair. You hate bloggers. You love Twitter. It's time. He's fast. I'm going to come down. The destroyer of world. And the Oscar goes to... Oh, Anora.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to The Next Best Picture Podcast. This is episode 483. I am your host, the owner, editor-in-chief of Next Best Picture.com. That Neglia. The time recording is March 14th at 8.5 a.m. here from Los Angeles, California, which is where I am recording this. And here to join me for this special Day Before the Oscars episode. I have Nadia

1:36.1

Dalamante. Hello, everybody. So, Nadia, traditionally the day before the Oscars, I usually

1:42.5

hop on a Zoom. I traditionally engage the

1:45.9

MVP film community. And it's this very large Zoom gathering of God knows how many voices. And

1:53.9

because this year, I unexpectedly ended up in a hotel this morning and I need to check out.

2:03.1

I find myself in a situation where I just can't spend all day editing the episode with so many different voices. So to the community

2:08.0

out there, I do apologize. So I have one voice joining me and that's Nadia, which will make

2:13.3

this a much easier episode to edit. So Nadia, thank you for being with me here today and not leaving

2:18.6

me alone to do this. Of course. Happy to be here. So what we're going to do is we're basically

2:23.9

going to go over what we're feeling the day before. You know, this is the end of the season.

2:31.7

There's been a lot of chatter these last couple of days, even since we posted our

2:35.6

Final Predictions podcast episode last Sunday.

2:39.1

And we're going to answer fan questions, too,

2:49.8

We're also going to be going over some trailers, though, for some movies.
