Pre-Globes Gambling Preview w/ David Long! - ORC 12/19/23

"Maestro" had its world premiere at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival, where it competed for the Golden Lion. It is the second film to be directed by Academy Award-nominee Bradley Cooper following "A Star Is Born" and features him and Academy Award-nominee Carey Mulligan transforming into Leonard Bernstein and his wife, Felicia Montealegre. The two were kind enough to spend a little bit of time talking with me about their work on the film, and I also got the chance to speak with the film's Costume Designer, Academy Award-winner Mark Bridges. Dan Bayer also interviewed Academy Award-winning Supervising Sound Editor Richard King. All three interviews can be listened to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now streaming on Netflix and is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at the 96th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Costume Design and Best Sound. Thank you, and enjoy!

A Behind The Scenes Look At "Maestro"

"Flamin' Hot" premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival, where it received positive reviews and was later released on Hulu and Disney+ over the summer. Academy Award-winner Diane Warren has been nominated at the Oscars 14 times in competitive categories. This year, she's shortlisted for writing the song for the film titled "The Fire Inside," performed by Becky G. Nominated already by the Society of Composers and Lyricists and Hollywood Music in Media, she could very well earn her 15th competitive nomination this year for the song which has over 2 million views on YouTube. Warren was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her work on the song, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream and is up for your consideration at the 96th Academy Awards for Best Original Song. Thank you, and enjoy!

Oscar Nominations Special 2024

Director and co-writer İlker Çatak was kind enough to speak with us following the film's Oscar nomination for Best International Feature Film to discuss his experience making the film, what went into the film's screenplay, how the film's tension was influenced by "Uncut Gems" and more. Please be sure to check out the film, which is up for your consideration for Best International Feature Film. Thank you, and enjoy!

The 96th Academy Awards are over. Another awards season is behind us, and it was indeed a night to remember with some tight races, deserved wins, and a respectful ceremony that honored the nominees and the art of cinema. We witnessed powerful, moving speeches, shocking wins, and memories that will last a lifetime. Daniel Howat, Ema Sasic, and Alyssa Christian reacted to the winners moments after the ceremony ended last night, while Will Mavity and Cody Dericks joined me the following day to discuss the show too. I combined both conversations together for your enjoyment. Join us as we go over our reactions to the winners, their speeches, and what we thought of the show overall, including Jimmy Kimmel's opening monologue, the musical performances, in memoriam, and more. Please listen to the podcast below or subscribe to it. We want to give a massive shoutout to everyone in the NBP Film Community who has supported us through another awards season. Thank you, and enjoy.

Interview With "It's What's Inside" Director/Writer Greg Jardin

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Nadia Dalimonte, Josh Parham & Daniel Howat to review and discuss the latest film in the "Wallace & Gromit" franchise: "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl" starring Ben Whitehead, Peter Kay, Lauren Patel & Reece Shearsmith. It is the sixth "Wallace & Gromit" film and the second feature-length film after the Oscar-winning "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" (2005) with the return of the villainous penguin Feathers McGraw from "The Wrong Trousers" (1993), which takes revenge on Wallace and Gromit by reprogramming their robotic garden gnome Wallace has become so dependent on. What did we think of the story, the stop-motion animation, the comedy, and the continued adventures of everyone's favorite Aardman creations? Tune in as we discuss these topics, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

Scott Feinberg is one of the major reasons we do what we do. He is the awards columnist for The Hollywood Reporter, the mastermind behind The Feinberg Forecast, and the brilliant host of THR’s Awards Chatter podcast, where he interviews contenders for the Oscars, Tonys, & Emmys. We’ve loved his work for years and can’t help but gush over many of his recent highlights since last we spoke.

In fact, one of OUR greatest MMO highlights came with our first chat with Mr. Feinberg on episode 165, and we highly recommend you go back to that very special MMO Interview to hear all about Scott’s origin story from a Connecticut kid who loved old movies to the industry’s foremost Oscar-ologist.

But with his return to MMO, and for our penultimate episode before Sunday’s big event, we thought it absolutely necessary to get right down to business. So we asked Scott the last of our burning questions heading into these Academy Awards and of course, Mr. Feinberg didn’t disappoint.

Scott begins with a breakdown of Best Picture from 1917’s resume to Parasite’s chances at an upset to what went wrong for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. We also discuss how Joker scored so many nominations, which favorite in the acting categories might be most vulnerable, who ran the best campaigns, and why the truncated season won’t become the new norm. As all podcasts with Scott Feinberg, this is certainly a must listen.

As always, we want to know what you think. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. You can subscribe / rate / review / like / share / & listen to us on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you might listen. We’re Mike, Mike, & Oscar, and we’re making awards season year round, without the stuffiness. Thanks for listening.
