Let me perhaps remind us of the theme you have stated earlier of Icarus.

Welcome to your wrong about. I'm Sarah Marshall, and we are talking today about the worst Oscars ever.

Where were they?

Our guest today is Michael Schulman, author of Oscar Wars, A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears.

He came on last year to talk about the Oscar Streaker, and he has returned to tell us about

the alleged worst Oscars ever. We're now in the 80s,

and we are telling a story with cameos from everybody, from Alice Cooper, to Gregory Peck, to Bruce

Valanche, to everybody in between, which is pretty much everybody. And it is a story of folly. It's a story of

saying yes to too many ideas. And it's also a story of how the most over-the-top ideas can

sometimes bring us the innovation that we need, even if we don't ever really admit it.

This was such a fun episode to do. I loved

returning to the Oscars this way. And thank you again to Michael for coming on. Check out Oscar Wars.

Why don't you? Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening. Thank you for continuing into

this year with us. Take care of yourself this week. And here is your episode.

Welcome to your wrong about the show where your host has not watched the Oscars since the year crash won,

but boy do I still love to talk about them. And with me today is our Oscars correspondent, Michael Schulman.

Hello. Hi, Sarah. It's great to be back.

It's so great to have you back. You were here last year to talk about the Oscar Streaker. And in a

shocking coincidence, we are having another Academy Award ceremony this year at about the same time.

So I thought we should talk about them again. Who could have predicted that? Let me clear up something.

So are you the Oscar correspondent or the Oscars correspondent? I think the first one does

sound better. I tend to try to just use Oscar. Like Oscar night. Nice. Okay. Yeah, you're right.
