21st Academy Awards: Hamlet

Based in Tinseltown, well just north of it (North Hollywood), Zach and Kristen are married film industry professionals on a deep dive into the history of the Academy Awards. Every week they watch the Academy Award winning Best Picture starting with the original ceremony in 1929 to now. Fascinated by the concept of The Oscars and curious about the culture surrounding them, the Phaneufs are on a mission to share the history and context of the “best” films in American history—thanks to Oscar and his Academy.
