In what is an asterisk of a year, award season is finally upon us. It’s been a confusing ride with changing release dates and qualifications, streaming, and theater closings… but Oscar Night is near nevertheless. This year, we decided to try something different. A Tournament, if you will, of Champions. We are pitting 16 “Classes” of best picture nominees, by year, against each other. Each match up will be voted on, and one slate of films advance until there is a winner. Plus we get to talk Oscar Predictions for this current season!

We need an expert to help us and break any ties.
