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 Harold and Omnities and the Oscar Ghost.

And the Oscar Ghost.

And I can't deny the fact that you like me right now.

You like me.

On the King of the World!

There's a mistake.

Moonlight, you guys won Best Picture.

I'm Richard Lawson and I'm here today with Rebecca Ford.

Hi!

And David Canfield.

Hello.

Well, we three future festival goers have a lot to talk about today because the Venice Film Festival has announced its full lineup

while Toronto, which happens basically a week later, keeps adding to their roster.

I don't know what the Toronto Strategy this year has been interesting.

It feels like they're announcing one big title every two days.

And later in the episode we'll talk about the Black Panther trailer that we're kind of forever rather.

Trailer that came out of Comic Con over the weekend.

And we'll have a spoilery discussion of the film Nope, which opened last Friday.

So if you don't want to hear spoilers, you can just end the episode after we talk about Wakanda forever.

But yes, Film Festival announcements have happened.
