Summary

Pitch black comedy, warped fairy tale or comedy drama? Whatever it is, Sean Baker’s story of a young sex worker from Brooklyn, who gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and marries the son of an oligarch, is bothering the hell out of the Oscars. Will Yosra, Hannah and Mick fall in love with Mikey Madison’s Ani? Does Yura Borisov’s Igor deserve his Academy nod? How hard should we be laughing? And would Hannah make a good henchman? There’s so much to talk about. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
