SLIM Hello and welcome to The Letterboxd Show, a podcast about the movies people love watching from Letterboxd: the social network for people who love watching movies.
And you know the drill This week, we have two very special Letterboxd pals on the show, and the four of us are going to talk about each of our four favorite films from among the 94th Academy Award nominees, whether or not they actually won. So we will talk a bit about why that is. But first, meet our guests. MATT Thank you so much for having me here. This is great. And our group today has some unique insights into the events leading up to and inside the room.
My real fave, my real fave of course, I had a dog in this Oscars fight and it was The Power of the Dog. Dame Jane Campion. So congratulations, Jane, you did it. Please spill! KATE Oof. Oh my goodness, guys. In , I got really lucky, I got to ask Taika Waititi a question. So I was feeling emboldened by that experience. And because the eight awards that were presented during the golden hour, sort of set the press room back a little bit longer than it typically goes through.
By the time Jane came through, it was quite late into the evening, and the show had ended. And, you know, obviously, there was quite a bit of distraction around the moment with Will Smith and Chris Rock.
And strangely, I think because of that, it was a little bit easier to ask questions of some of the big winners at the end of the night. And I got called upon as the second-to-last person in the press room who got to ask Jane Campion a question, which was a huge thrill for me! I wish the question I asked her had been formulated a little bit better in terms of what exactly I was asking her What I meant to say was sort of like, around the idea of legacy and female filmmakers and what that means to be creating a legacy, 30 years after The Piano and bringing collaborators along the way with her.
