351: "Give It To Mushnik" - SNL At The Oscars
Listen now
Description
It's Hollywood's biggest night and Saturday Night Jive is celebrating.  In honor of Robert Downey Jr. becoming the first SNL alum to win an Oscar we're talking about all the Saturday Night Live cast members who have ever been nominated for acting awards.  This gives us an opportunity to talk about some actually good movies that we would otherwise never cover on this show dedicated to the absolute worst of an actor's career.  We talk Oppenheimer, Chaplin, and Tropic Thunder for RDJ, Joan Cusack's two Oscar nominations with Working Girl and In & Out, Randy Quaid's early nomination for The Last Detail, Bill Murray in Lost In Translation, Dan Aykroyd bizarrely getting an Oscar nod for Driving Miss Daisy, Eddie Murphy losing for Dreamgirls to Alan Arkin, and SNL cast member for one episode only Laurie Metcalf in Lady Bird.  We also discuss the actual Oscar winners, the nominees, and who we would have voted for in each category.  Enjoy!
