The Cooler Gang gathers around the Water Cooler to share their predictions for Sunday’s 2018 Oscar ceremony. Plus, we reveal our Best of 2017 lists.
We’re putting the TV coverage on pause momentarily. Next Sunday marks the 90th Annual Academy Awards, and this week, we’re giving our most recent round of predictions in most races. Will nomination-leading The Shape of Water sweep the major categories? Or will more traditional Academy fare like Dunkirk take home gold? Will Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri overcome the lack of a director nomination? Or is there a surprise winner waiting in the wings? We go around the Water Cooler to opine on the probable winners, certain losers, and potential Oscar spoilers. Plus, how will Jimmy Kimmel rate on his next outing as the 2018 Oscar host?
After that, we give our much-delayed Best of 2017 lists. With Oscar giving his opinion next weekend, what are our favorite films to premiere in 2017? We close our podcast, as always, with the Flash Forward to the television we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.
Don’t forget to catch up on Joey’s next Favorite Movie: 1996’s The Birdcage. We’ll discuss that film on next week’s podcast.
