A great listen for fans of Oscar, and in general of movies. From the in-depth discussions, to the fun banter. I like the gay one with the new hair, and the Mexican one is great too! Would love to hear Joey Gentile on the show, I remember the banter and hilariousness of an Academy Queens episode...Read full review »

Love the coverage of the awards races, new releases, and reviews of older films on Director Watch! A must-listen.

The hosts are a bunch of racist stuck up snobs.

Big fan of both Ryan and Jay. They do a wonderful job of finding new talking points on movies that have been talked to death. Their obvious camaraderie, paired with their engagement with their guests makes this show a must listen, whether you are into awards or not! PS, Ryan is my fave!

There are many awards podcasts on the internet but the AwardsWatch team continues to deliver the best show every single week. Love the discussions and the wide ranging opinions. Keep them coming.

A great rotation of panelists and fun topics each week. Highly recommend!

The best awards podcast on the internet!!

Ryan McQuade takes center stage as he talks over most of his guests, and when that’s not happening, you can almost here him waiting to say something. There is barely a moment that isn’t littered with his shameless self-aggrandizement. Meanwhile, his guests are less guests and mostly businessmen...Read full review »

I like the information and find it interesting and sometimes the analysis can be really fresh especially compared to other awards podcasts. The thing I can’t get over is how mean Ryan is sometimes. I’m not talking about his snark to his cohosts which can get really tired. But calling out other...Read full review »

Decided to give this podcast a try amid the award season, but had to stop listening after they referred to 2 Black women missing the Best Actress category as “disappointing”, but implored listeners to celebrate “diversity” in other categories. One Black woman has won best actress in the history...Read full review »

Another really fun film podcast with great hosts ruined by the insufferable and interruptive Dan Bayer. Easily the most annoying critic in this long-form film podcast space. Tolerable only in the shortest of bursts because of his presence alone.

Quality banter, intelligent discussion

Love listing about the movies and enjoy the games. Don’t enjoy the podcast cliches “chef’s kiss, “problematic”, “that being said” etc. Some overlap with Next Best Picture which tends to recycle these phrases. Another one is “co-sign”. It get a bid tepid when everyone agrees. Occasionally there’s...Read full review »

Eric does a great job blending talking about films and award shows Take notes goldderby this is how you do it The updated podcasts are too long
Fes123456 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/22
With Ryan taking the reigns and involving the staff more, The AwardsWatch pod to a jump. Erik already had one of the best Oscar pundit podcasts, but with this crew it could be the best outright. Great stuff!

Love the Awards Watch team! Not only great interviews, but incredible award season discussions. A mixture of well done research into past seasons, history of how certain types of films do with voting bodies and much more put into making their predictions! Mini cooper approved

I normally enjoy listening to this podcast but it is so aggravating to hear Erik cough into the microphone over and over. Get a glass of water or cough to the side. It is loud and disgusting and detracts from your presentation.

Besides the audio quality, this is one of the best podcasts out there. Erik not only has his finger on the pulse of current Oscar races, but knows his Oscar history as well. One of the few Oscar podcasts that don’t devolve into a rant about film twitter.
Alec Quin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/20
I am not sure if it was the audio quality, but this entire episode (#78 Golden Globes) it sounded like someone was typing. The amount of annoyance I feel from conference calls at work where someone is barely paying attention and typing away totally eclipsed anything said in this episode. Unlke my...Read full review »

I highly recommend AwardsWatch. I listen to every awards podcast out there, and Erik’s is one of the best, if not the best there is. He’s knowledgeable, hilarious, and a blast to listen to. I always get excited to see a new pod from him. Thanks for the laughs and all the hard work you put...Read full review »

Erik is cool. His website is pretty easy to navigate. I value his opinion. I like how they rank their predictions and give background and historical reasoning on their predictions. My BIG issue with this podcast and most awards prediction coverage is the lack of diversity. This lack of...Read full review »

I’m an Oscar geek and love to listen to people talk awards. And the content of AwardsWatch is good. But I think Eric needs work on hosting and presenting. It’s not his fault. People make careers out of this professionally. I would just love for him and the show to flow a bit better to make it an...Read full review »

Best Film Podcast period! Hope this podcast lives forever! Thank you Sasha!
johnnyboyben via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/13/18
The best podcast for movie award nerds. Goes in-depth with predictions, statistics and the mood of the moment. Knowledgeable host Erik engages in and sets tone for smart, witty banter. Long running times may deter some but I find the episodes absorbing and particularly good for commuting. Always...Read full review »

Basically, you’re listening to a recorded phone call. The host is also pretty inarticulate.
