Hello and welcome to Little Gold Men, the Award Season Podcast from Vanity Fair and

Panaplee that proves that award season really

is a year-round event. I'm Katie Rich the deputy editor of vanity fair.com and I'm here

And Vanity Fair's film critic Richard Lawson.

eligible for any Oscars, but is so compelling that we have to talk about it anyway

because we've been talking about it non-stop for months.

And don't worry, we'll talk about its Emmy chances as well just to keep the awards nerd credentials

of this show intact.

And then from there we'll dip back into movies to talk about a fascinating accidental trilogy of music

biopics that opened recently, all of which should have Oscar written all over them, but don't

for reasons we'll talk about.

found McDonald's but kind of took it away from the McDonald's, which is a story I didn't know about.
