Show Notes
Sophia and Nick duke it out this week in a mock debate to decide whether The Academy awarded the right winner in certain categories in the 2010s.
After highlighting the career of the late Sean Connery (0:18), they switch between taking the side of The Academy and the most competitive nominee for that year: Actor in 2012 (3:00), Actress in 2018 (10:45), Director in 2013 (28:00), and Picture in 2015 (35:01).
Also, they introduce a new rapid-fire game to see if they can agree on who they think should have won the Best Actor award for each year in the 2010s (21:13).
