For Episode 478, Ema Sasic, Megan Lachinski, Nadia Dalimonte, Amy Kim, and Lauren LaMagna join me to discuss the 2026 DGA, AACTA, BSC, and SCL winners, and how their wins impact the Oscar race. We also give our predictions for what we believe will win the CDG and MUAHS awards later this week. For last week’s poll, with the conclusion of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, we asked, “Which Film From The 2026 Sundance Film Festival Are You Most Looking Forward To?” And for this week’s poll, with the 2025 NBP Film Community Award Ballots going out (Due before February 14th), we’re asking, “Which Was The Best Film From 2025 To Not Receive A Single Oscar Nomination?” We also give our reactions to the trailers for “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” “Tow,” and “Exit 8,” answer your fan-submitted questions, and more. Thank you all for listening, supporting, and subscribing. Enjoy!
