I'm Sean Fennese.

I'm Amanda Davins.

And this is the Big Picture, a conversation show about whatever the hell the Academy Awards are now.

After a record-low rated ceremony on Sunday, the state of the Oscars has been the subject of debate all week.

Amanda and I will discuss where the show should go in 2022 and beyond.

Then, later in the show, I'll be joined by Adam McKay, the director behind beloved films like Anchorman, Step Brothers, and The Big Short.

To discuss his new podcast, Death at the Wing, among other things, I hope you'll stick around for that.

But first, Amanda, let's get back to the Oscars.

You were a fan of the show of the Telecast.

I was not...

I had a nice time till the end.

You had a nice... yes.

I think everyone had struggled with the ending.

Many people seem like had a hard time with the show.

The feedback has been pretty negative about how things went on Sunday.

You know, with a little distance, how do you feel about the show similarly to Sunday night?

Well, I had more fun watching the show than I have in the 60-hour sense.
