CineJourneys – Episode 7 – Oscar Talk with Derek Smith
About this episode
Description:
Derek Smith from Slant Magazine joins Aaron and Mark Hurne to dig into Awards Season. He has seen pretty much everything and then some, and he just recently participated in Virtual Sundance and shares some highlights. We also talk about Modern Classics and how he inadvertently suggested a 14-hour film, and also whether any films from 2023 have potential to become classics. For the Oscars, we talk about the highlights of the nominations, a few snubs, and also some great films that did not get nominated.
