That’s a wrap, folks! We have arrived at the end of awards season, with one of the better Oscar telecasts in recent memory. Oppenheimer’s predicted success largely came to fruition, but there were also some key surprises in categories Oppenheimer did not take.
In this episode of The Long Take Review, Greg, P.T., and I share our experience watching the 96th Academy Awards, evaluate this year’s Oscars as a televised show, and dissect all the winners, diagnosing the surprises and celebrating what made us happy. Which jokes landed? What do the upsets tell us about the evolution of the Academy or how to become better prognosticators? And why is Ryan Gosling the ultimate winner of the night?
We want to thank all our listeners for following along with us all season. We’ve had a blast, and can’t wait to do it all again.
