Hello and

the award season podcast from Vanity Fair.

I am delighted and proud to introduce him

as Academy Award winner.

And the Oscar goes to.

And the Oscar goes to the winner, it's a tie. And any little girl who's practicing their speech on the teller you never know.

Ma, I just want an Oscar. I am Katie Rich. I am Katie Rich. I'm here for our first recording of the

new year with Richard Lawson. Hello? With David Canfield.

Hi.

And with Rebecca Ford.

Happy New Year.

I do think we're all kind of learning how to think again

for the first time in a week, which is kind of a nice feeling.

And I think maybe there are many awards

voters out there doing the same thing and kind of remembering like oh God yeah I got to

like talk about these movies and not just catch up on my screener pile but we do

have some stuff to catch up on after we recorded our last episode before the break.

The Oscar Shortlist came out, lots to discuss in there.

There's a couple more listener questions that we didn't get to in our last episode that I

thought were worth revisiting.

And then the Golden Globes are coming up on Sunday, so we're going to do our best to predict

them.
