Clare and Alaina make sense of the Oscar nominations!! With less then a week away from the award show, the race is between CODA and Power of the Dog for best picture. Come listen to us speculate over what will win, and remorse over Denis Villeneuve not being nominated for best director. We also discuss ABC’s decision not to present 8 awards during this year's live broadcast. While some categories like supporting actress and visual effects have locked wins, this year is particularly difficult to predict in categories like best actress, best film editing, and screenplay. Join Making Sense of Movies, with Clare and Alaina as we truly try to make sense of why some of these movies (@ Don't Look Up) were nominated. Intro and outro music: Kevin MacLeod.
