Clare and Alaina make sense of the Oscar nominations!! 2019 has been a great year for movies, like The Farwell, Uncut Gems and Midsommar (too bad all of them got zero nominations). We won’t lie, we’re very salty with the nominations this year. While we both love the Oscars because of its celebration of movies, there are still many flaws within the system that prevent each movie from being given an equal chance at getting nominated. Come listen to us speculate over what will win, and remorse over J.Lo not being nominated. We are disappointed…. But not surprised. Join Making Sense of Movies, with Clare and Alaina as we truly try to make sense of why some of these movies (@ Joker) were nominated. Intro and outro music: Kevin MacLeod. "Dark Hallway". 2008
