I participated in Nathaniel Rogers’ wonderful Oscar Smackdown series, where a group of film critics and movie buffs rate the Oscar nominees/winners in a certain category in a specific year. Nathaniel has been doing this for YEARS, and I’ve been reading for YEARS, so it was so fun to finally get to participate.
The category was: Best Supporting Actress.
The year: 1984.
Nathaniel records a podcast as well, where all of this is hashed out. There were some major scheduling difficulties with the other panelists, so this year it was just me and Nathaniel. It was so much fun.
I really really showed my bona fides as a super serious film critic when I said: “I don’t need a kiss to be gentle, I just don’t want a cupcake in my throat.” This is why they pay me the big bucks.
I love Nathaniel’s blog so this is the best of worlds colliding for me.
Isn’t he the best?? It was a blast talking with him.
Listening now at work :-)
