That’s a wrap on another exciting and satisfying Oscar season! Ryan Coogler and Paul Thomas Anderson, both now having been nominated in four different categories, have earned their first Oscars! One Battle After Another and Sinners battled head-to-head and both emerged victorious along with 4 of their other Best Picture acquaintances. Listen as Sophia, Nick, and guest Bennett Prosser break down the Oscars telecast, from Conan’s return as host and hilarious opener to the emotional In Memoriam and speeches that left many in tears.
Stick around for a little post-episode scene, like with Conan becoming “Host for Life,”to play Oscar Wild’s favorite game, Smash or Pass (1:04:47)!
Thank you all for listening during this SIXTH season and check back in April for Oscar Wild’s 300th episode and Season 7 premiere! :)
