Hello and welcome to Little Gold Men the Award season podcast from Vanity Fair.

It's such an honor to present this next award and here on the nominees and

the Oscar goes to and I can't deny the fact that you like me right now.

You like me.

I'm the King of the World.

There's a mistake.

Moonlight, you guys won best picture. I am Katie Rich, the deputy editor of Vanity Fair.com and I'm here with our remote

pre- Thanksgiving everyone is off in a different corner's pseudo studio.

We have our chief critic Richard Lawson.

Hello.

And our senior writer Joanna Robinson.

Hi Katie.

Mike is off baking a turkey, probably, or at least that's what I'll be doing before too long but we've

gathered because this is like the slowest work week and the biggest time for

movie releases not just movies that are out in theaters but also a bunch of them

that are kind of starting to show for critics and reviews are coming out,

that everything is really rushing ahead of the Critics Awards that are going to come really fast as soon as Thanksgiving is over.

And then there's also movies and theaters, and we're going to have an interview that Joanna did with Ryan Johnson the director of knives out which is I think probably your best bet for like a big take your family to this Thanksgiving release so we can talk more about I would say so right yeah yeah

who needs frozen too and you've got a murder mystery great pick yeah well

joining you we can talk about it more but you talk to Ryan at Fantastic Fest which seems like the ideal

circumstances for any interview really. Absolutely a lot of KSO and

tequila floating around the system as we're saying. But first so Richard as we record this you've had you have a really busy day of reviews
