Hi, lovely listeners, Kat here to tell you about an awesome new podcast called Oscars,

what were they thinking? If you're like us, you've probably watched the Oscars and thought,

like, what the hell? Like, why do some film sweep best picture while other better ones are overlooked?

Why do great actors miss out on Oscars for their best role? And why do beloved box office hits

get snubbed while little scene films

rake in awards? If these questions resonate, check out the new podcast. Here behind the scene

secrets from Bruce Valanche, the man who wrote for the Oscars for nearly three decades,

he'll reveal strange but true stories behind some of the Oscars' most iconic moments and

infamous controversies. And the show blends humor with movie history, making it both entertaining and

enlightening as Valanche and his co-host Adam Tex Davis tackle puzzling's Oscar decisions

using the test of time and historical context.

If you love and hate the Oscars at the same time, you definitely want to go check out

Oscars, what were they, wherever you find your podcast.

Hello and welcome to episode one of the Oscars. What were they thinking?

The show that looks at all the Academy Awards and asks, what were they thinking?

And also, what were they thinking?

My name is Adam Tex Davis, and for about 26 years I've done pretty much every kind of writing.

You can do in the entertainment business feature films, TV, podcast, video games, eulogies,

but I've never actually written the Oscars, but my co-host sure has.

I can't believe I'm sitting here across from the legendary Bruce Valanche.

We got Bruce.

Live in color. Here I am.
