I'm Sean Fennacy.

And this is the Big Picture a Conversation show about the sixth annual alternative Oscars,

a.k a.k.a. The Big Picks. That means Wesley Morris is here in the flesh. Hello. Hi. Thank you for being here. All the way from New York. I'm all the way in the flesh. It's true. We missed you last year. We need you on this episode.

Thank God you're here.

There's so much to talk about on this episode.

It's not just going to be the alternative Oscars.

It's going to be... I mean, there's just so much stuff.

We got the awards race.

We have the most significant merger in recent Hollywood history.

We have a lot of conversation about how people's faces look on television.

There's so much coming up here. Yes, it is important. And also our own faces. We're not our own faces. I don't really think about my face. You look great. Just keep going. The SAG Awards happened over the weekend, aka the Actor Awards, the Producers Guild Awards. I just almost went like this. The what? Yes, and we have our own hardware to do out as well, which we will do so. You can only say actors now. It just sounds right. Does it? It does not. Okay. We will talk about it right after this. It sounds better than sag. This episode of The Big Picture is presented by State Farm. Sure, being an expert and movie trivia is impressive. You know, it's even more impressive?

Just another way to save with the personal price plan. Prices are based on rating plans that vary by state.

Coverage options are selected by the customer. Availability, amount of discounts and savings,

and eligibility vary by state. Okay. Before we start, we have a programming note. Yes. We are entering the realm of live programming on the big picture. We will be doing live episodes

of this show on Netflix. Yes, we have done them before, but not on Netflix. Not on Netflix. As a kickoff, next week, we are doing a live mailbag. It will air live on Netflix. April 8th. Oh, mailbag is a good way to do it. Yes. Noon Pacific, 3 p.m. Eastern. Why did you say April? It's March 8th. March 8th. Why did I write April? It's March 8th. This is a very specific mailbag. It is in anything but Oscars mailbag. No Oscar talk on this mailbag. We've been doing a lot of Oscar talk. The season's been too long. It's actually gotten very interesting recently, and I'm happy about that. But no Oscars on this episode. Maybe I'll submit a question. Please do. If you would like to submit a question to reach us,

you can email us at big pick mailbag at gmail.com. What does that email?

Big pick mailbag, but do it this way. Big pick mailbag at gmail.com. Yes. We also will be...

It's like 1947 and this new device called television has just been invented.

And we have our pitchwoman for ivory detergent.

This is ivory, not ebony detergent, just for the record.

Ebony detergent is a whole whole other thing we're also

going to be going live after the academy awards many people who listen to this show or watch this show
