This is TBTL with Luke Burbank on NewsTalk 710 Cairo.

And now that we have our special Oscar Feast settling into our belly, our special Oscar

wine settling into, I guess, the part of your belly that wine settles into.

The scene is perfectly set for TBTL Oscar edition.

Do we have some applause, Sean?

Can you find some applause?

I just feel like that could have gone a lot better.

I feel like I didn't really take the listeners there.

It was not the performance that it could have been.

So thank you so much for joining us, and we're proud to welcome you to TBTL Oscar edition.

That's good stuff.

I'm not actually up for an Oscar surprisingly, despite my clear, the keen eye that I have

for the performance in the field of acting.

But there are a lot of amazing actors who have been nominated, amazing writers who have

been nominated, and films overall.

And it seems that this year, to me anyway, that I'm extra excited for the Oscars, maybe

because the movies that have been nominated are movies that I really like, or maybe it's

because of the writer's strike, normally there's so much hype that builds up to the Oscars

that when they actually happen, it's kind of anticlimactic a little bit, but in this case

we've been in a sort of, you know, award show, blackout.

And so I've got all this pent up excitement about these movies.

And here to help me is our own Tom Tagney, he's Cairo's film guy.
