Summary

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL EPISODE. Please check out the full podcast episode on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture The 97th Academy Awards are officially over. Another awards season is behind us, and it was indeed a night to remember with some tight races, deserved wins, and a respectful ceremony that honored the heroes of the LA fires and the city of Los Angeles (along with some other questionable tributes: James Bond??). We witnessed some powerfully moving speeches, the longest speech ever, and memories that will last a lifetime. Daniel Howat, Ema Sasic, Dan Bayer, and Alyssa Christian reacted to the winners moments after the ceremony ended last night. Tune in as they give their reactions to the winners, the speeches, and what they thought of the show overall, including Conan O'Brien's opening monologue, the musical performances, in memoriam, and more.
