With the Academy Awards just two weekends away, this year’s awards season is coming to a close.
With that in mind, this hour we take a Nose-ish look at awards shows — awards shows as live events, as television, and as the actual doling out of artistic accolades.
Plus: a brief history of the Academy Awards with Michael Schulman, the author of Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears.
GUESTS:
- David Edelstein: America’s Greatest Living Film Critic
- Alison Herman: TV critic at Variety
- Michael Schulman: A staff writer at The New Yorker and the author, most recently, of Oscar Wars
