Show Notes
Film critic Alissa Wilkinson and critic-at-large Emily VanDerWerff do an epic speed run through the eight films nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars (Sunday, April 25, on ABC).
In this Best Picture Battle Royale, Alissa and Emily go head to head and each make a case for four films — why these films deserve to win Best Picture and why you should watch them before the big night. (Spoiler alert: Not all of them are worth your time!)
