It's The Nose's annual Academy Awards special, and this year we're doing it live at night.

The Nose has covered 15 of this year's Oscar-nominated movies. The only Best Picture nom we missed was Darkest Hour, so we're doing this show at the, uh, darkest hour of the day that we're on.

Or... something.

Some Academy Awards storylines we might get into:

GUESTS:

  • Tom Breen - Film critic and reporter for the New Haven Independent and host of WNHH radio's Deep Focus
  • Rebecca Castellani - Entertainment director at Bridge Street Live in Collinsville, Conn.
  • Rand Richards Cooper - A contributing editor at Commonweal; writes the "In Our Midst" column for Hartford Magazine

Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Colin McEnroe and Chion Wolf contributed to this show.
