Roundtable: Oscar Predictions
After a very long awards season, the 94th Academy Awards will finally be presented this Sunday on ABC. Josh, Chase, and Jenn huddled together (virtually) to talk through the nominees, read the tea leaves, and make some guesses about who’s going to (and who should) win Oscars.

On Sunday at 5 pm, Steven Soderbergh will produce a real live actual in-person awards ceremony in Los Angeles (and maybe a few satellite locations for those unable to cross the pond and quarantine).
