Awards Season Check-In IV: ‘Poor Things,’ ‘American Fiction,’ LAFCA Awards, and Golden Globe Nominations
Listen now
Description
Awards and Nominations and Reviews, oh my! Nick and Sophia are back for their last (but not least) Awards Season Check-In with plenty of updates. First, they go over the LA Film Critics (LAFCA) award winners and how those differentiate from New York. Also, they see how the nominations from the HFPA-less Golden Globes stack up? Who’s in and who’s out with their reformed six nominee categories? Then, they review Poor Things (26:39), Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest bizarre collaboration with star Emma Stone (not their first this year and there’s already more on the way). Find out why they think Yorgos is obsessed with reimagining the Disney formula and how the costumes and production design transport the viewer to a whole new world. Lastly, they break down American Fiction, this year’s People’s Choice winner from TIFF (52:12). Find out why this has all audiences talking and what that could mean come Oscar nomination morning.
