Show notes
Glitz, glamour, celebrity? Well yes, there’s all that at the 93rd Annual Academy Awards, but the reason we watch the Oscars is to celebrate the films of the previous year. And what a year 2020 was, so we need something to celebrate. Hear our predictions and thoughts on the winners live as the show plays out. Not a conventional episode for us, but we wanted to do something special for the long-delayed ceremony this year. So we worked out a way to stream and commentate, and record it all for your enjoyment. We’ve done our homework so this episode should sync with the ABC broadcast as available for replay on Hulu in the US and 7Plus in Australia. However at least in Australia, this will only be available for another week and a half or so. So if you want to watch along with the commentary, better check it out before it’s gone. Conversation from the commercial breaks has been shuffled around into dead spots in the broadcast where we were silently watching, but for the most part this is live reaction to the show. Including its unorthodox ending. To say any more would spoil the fun.
