Oscars Reactions (Some Choices Were… Interesting) with MacKenzie Green
About this episode
As promised, MacKenzie Green and I share our Oscars reactions, and thoughts on just about everything:
- Awards season and Oscar campaigning
- Timothée Chalamet discourse
- Misty Copeland’s performance
- Sinners on Broadway??
- Criticism of Sean Penn winning Best Supporting Actor
- The historical context of Black Oscar winners, and why Michael B. Jordan's win is so HUGE
- Comparisons to past controversial Oscar wins (think Green Book vs Black Panther)
- Distinctions between authentic cultural storytelling (like Sinners) and films by those outside the culture for performative or superficial benefit
