Raise your hand if you haven't yet seen Black Panther? No one? Good, then you all can listen to the latest episode of AwardsBlend, where co-hosts Sean O'Connell, Kevin McCarthy and Jake Hamilton kick off their weekly film-geek discussion with a breakdown of Ryan Coogler's Marvel masterwork, then lay out their personal Top 5 Marvel movies to see if Black Panther makes the cut.
From there, the guys dive into a discussion on the Best Picture race. With roughly a week to go until the Academy Awards are handed out on March 4, Sean, Jake and Kevin talk about the films that they think still legitimately have a shot at winning Best Picture. Yes, there are nine nominees. But it really only feels like three movies hold out hope of leaving the Oscars with a Best Picture statue tucked under their proverbial arm.
But this week, the conversation really heats up when the AwardsBlend co-hosts debate the best film of Paul Thomas Anderson. We polled our listeners, and their collective pick does NOT match the one suggested by the guys. Let's see how that gets resolved.
