Talking Critics, Audiences, Awards, and 2019 Winter TV

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association spoke last week with the 2019 Golden Globe awards. This weekend, the Broadcast Film Critics Association announced their 2019 winners in both film and television categories. How did critics fare compared to the HFPA? What does this further say about the 2019 Oscars and Emmy Awards?

Speaking of critics, a loyal listener mentioned a topic that we felt resonated more now perhaps in a while. With major awards going to Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody, is the chasm between critics and audiences wider now than ever before? We look at critically acclaimed films that failed to catch fire at the box office. What behind this ever-increasing shift? And will it impact this year’s Oscar nominations?

Finally, Winter TV is finally here. We’ll preview a few of the higher profile titles premiering during these cold winter months.

We close our podcast, as always, with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.
