Finally, we'll put our reputations on the line and make our predictions across every major category—from acting and directing to screenplay, technical awards, and of course Best Picture.

On this episode of Critics at Large, with the ninety-eighth Academy Awards just around the corner, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz are joined by their fellow staff writer Michael Schulman to take stock of Oscars season. They discuss the biggest races and consider whether the year's Best Picture nominees—many of them both critical and commercial successes—might represent a return to the bygone era of “grownup movies.” At the center of all this pageantry is the host: a notoriously tricky role for even the most seasoned performers. Together, the critics revisit the highs and lows of Oscars hosting history, from the long tenure of Bob Hope to the golden age of Billy Crystal. These m.c.s' success hinges on their ability to walk a fine line, embodying the celebratory spirit of the evening while also poking fun at its absurdity. “It's about that insider-outsider aspect. You are the court jester,” Schwartz says. “Are you really wanting to be vizier to the king, or are you O.K. in that jester role?”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Oscar Wars,” by Michael Schulman“Marty Supreme” (2025)“Sinners (2025)“The Secret Agent” (2025)“One Battle After Another” (2025)“‘Come to Brazil?'

We have an epic episode for you this week about an epic film from last year (#2025stillalive). Ryan Coogler has been a striking creative visionary in cinema for years now. With SINNERS, he unleashed a tour de force of creative storytelling, groundbreaking behind-the-scenes negotiations, and a powerhouse commentary on culture, art, and history. Sinners has now been nominated for a record-breaking 16 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and continues to find and captivate new audiences daily.We invited a panel of friends and FoGgers to discuss this film with us, including returning friends of the show Chris Clark and Natashia Deon (attorney, professor, and author of The Perishing) and new-to-the-FoG guest Shaherah White (entrepreneur and host of the Love Manifested podcast). Together we dive deep into the themes and the cultural touchstones of Coogler's impressive film, including what it has to say about freedom, power, temptation, and art.

We close out our look back at the year in movies with a deep dive into many of the Oscar nominated films and several smaller pictues we don't want people to forget about. While our conversation doesn't get quite as heated as on our previous episode, we do discover than many of us have strong feelings about some surpinging movies. With the Academy nominating films ranging from F1 to Train Dreams as Best Picture, 2025 feels like a year in which the Oscars are far more representational of what most folks chose to watch - not just during awards season, but throughout this challenging year.

He then talks with returning guest Sona about the DTF St. Louis pilot “Cornhole,” praising the cast (Jason Bateman, David Harbor, Linda Cardellini, Richard Jenkins) but noting an odd comedy-tragedy tone, limited character set, and questions about sustaining a seven-episode mystery. They discuss the investigators, the conspicuous bike, the out-of-focus “half” character (Bateman's wife), the scratched-face magazine photo, and speculate on motives and whether Harbor's death is murder or something else, while previewing possible coverage of Vladimir, Rooster, Scarpetta, and Imperfect Women.   00:00 Show Intro and Guest Return 00:41 Podcast Updates and Upcoming Coverage 02:31 Oscars Streaming Guide Setup 03:20 Best Picture Odds and Where to Watch 08:38 Acting Categories and Standout Performances 11:50 More Nominees and Final Streaming Recap 14:41 Sona Returns and Olympics Catch Up 19:44 Peacock Deals and What to Watch Next 22:31 Packed Premiere Calendar Preview 31:06 DTF St Louis Pilot First Impressions 32:26 David Harbour Gossip and Real Story Origins 37:20 Pilot Breakdown Setup and 2018 Setting Quirks 40:31 Captioning Chaos Memories 41:28 Visual Style and Tone 43:18 Timeline and Structure Questions 46:25 Jason Bateman Persona 48:40 App Setup Plot Hole 50:38 Umpire Uniform Midlife Crisis 55:41 Murder Setup Theories 56:30 The Out of Focus Wife 59:20 Cops and Culture Clash 01:01:35 Magazine Photo Mystery 01:03:45 Stepson and Money Trouble 01:07:29 Next Episode Predictions 01:10:17 Bike Clues and Motifs 01:14:24 Wrap Up and Recommendations

This week we're in hygge mode, uncovering traumas in our generational home with the host of This Had Oscar Buzz, Joe Reid! One of the breakout Oscar films of the year is Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value, a warm, realist Norwegian film about a difficult but brilliant director (Stellan Skarsgard), his two daughters (Renate Reinsve and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas), and an American actress cast in the auteur's new film (Elle Fanning). All four performances earned Oscar nominations, along with nominations for Best Picture, Best International Feature, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Screenplay. Sentimental Value also highlights a recurring phenomenon in Hollywood, wherein the Academy will pass over a director's breakout film but shower the follow-up with nominations. In Trier's case, his previous film The Worst Person in the World received nominations for Best International Film and Original Screenplay but, in our opinion, deserved many more. We try to break down how and why this happens, whether films about filmmaking have an innate appeal to Oscar voters, how Fanning's star power helps bridge the international gap for voters, and the film itself, including its deft intermingling of artistic expression and sublimated generational trauma.  With Joe's guidance, we also check in on some of the Oscar-buzziest films of the year that didn't pan out, check in on the state of the acting category race and some potential upsets, and celebrate The Secret Agent's breakout star Tânia Maria and her new role as Burger King spokeswoman.
