Media AA Meeting Has Begun
posted by on January 25 at 12:39 PM
Attention Oscar obsessives: After years of tireless suffering in private, I finally have an outlet for aggressive obsession I’m required to devote to each year’s Academy Awards.
AA Meeting is a weekly podcast devoted to all things Oscar, from nominees’ odds to winner predictions to all the rest of that meaningless award-show bullshit I’m physically incapable of ignoring. Plus, I’ll have guests—in the premiere episode, it’s Stranger film editor Annie Wagner, with whom I discuss the basics of this year’s nominations, including the triumph of James Longley, the mystery of Borat’s “screenwriters,” and the dashing of Beyonce’s Oscar dreams. Enjoy.
(And for a full list of this year’s nominees, go here.)
When you said to me on Tuesday, "I'm going to an AA Meeting!" I was the most confused I had ever been. Now it is all clear!
Okay, so if I say I'm a gay white man, this basically gives away who I'm rotting for for Best Supporting Actress. And basically, you'd have to be dead inside to deny to her a trophy. Even if she makes a speech thanking God. (Which by the way, white people would do too if they could pull of looking earnest) Still, I'm glad someone shares my lovecrush on Rinko Kinkuchi. Where is this alleged Sundance footage?
I [heart] you, David Schamder. I am obsessed with the Oscars and appreciate that you are, too. Thank you!
I love Oscar time! I haven't even seen most of the movies nominated (yet!), but am seriously considering hosting a pantsuit-themed party (after all, ellen degeneres is hosting). Any other movie dork theme parties out there?
i am fully committed to all things oscar. every year i host a party and serve food based around the best picture nominees. i'm having trouble coming up with ideas for this year. any suggestions?
madeleines, for the proust scholar in little miss sunshine.
tamales, for the wedding party in babel.
irish soda bread for the departed.
nothing for the food shortages in letters from iwo jima.
tea and venison for the queen.
um, yuck.
