We profile 7 more categories including Original Screenplay, Supporting Actor, Costume Design, Animated Feature, Makeup & Hairstyling, Cinematography, and Lead Actress. Frozen vs Toy Story, Pitt vs Dafoe, Erivo vs Mirren - there’s some great races to preview here.

As we did in the first part, we break down another 7 categories at the Academy Awards, and we hit on all of the major contenders while doing so. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood remains center stage, but we also hype up some more contenders like Harriet, Ford v Ferrari, The Irishman, Little Women, 1917, Jojo Rabbit, The Last Thing He Wanted, The Laundromat, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, & many more. We also talk about some major stars along the way like Brad Pitt, our friend Willem Dafoe, Helen Mirren, Kristen Stewart, and of course, Quentin Tarantino. The episode format leads to some fun discussions. Toy Story 4 seems like its in a two picture race for Animated Feature with Frozen 2. CATS probably has good make-up, Downton Abbey may have some pretty damned good costumes, and Sam Mendes movies like 1917 probably have incredible cinematography. But on the flipside, we also think John Litgow will wear a well-made fat suit, Little Women is one of many period pieces where the dresses will be sewn with impeccable taste, and the Harriet set photos are stunning. So again, we preview each of these races with points & counterpoints, and with our picks for frontrunners, likely nominations, and wildcards. Stay tuned for Part 3, where we’ll finish the Mid-Year Report and build up to an overview of the Best Picture category. We’ll also have a major announcement about another new weekly show on the next MMOW. Hint, hint - it’s gonna be Oscar related. So we’ll have a lot to discuss in the coming months regarding this fast approaching awards season, and we’ll be doing a lot of what we do best - break down the Oscars! On that note, we’ll be doing many more Oscar Sprint Profile movie reviews. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood hits theaters next week, and we also plan on covering The Farewell, The Kitchen, Luce, Where’d You Go Bernadette, and The Goldfinch. And those are just the next flurry of contenders coming out through early September. There’s a whole bunch more for us to cover throughout the fall and winter leading into red carpet season.
