We'd like every female member of the jury to please stand up! We are continuing our coverage of the 2018 Academy Awards by discussing Best Actress in a Leading Role. They ask important questions like "Does Sally Hawkins actually anchor The Shape of Water?" "What does it look like when Meryl isn't phoning it in?" and "Seriously what the hell were we thinking about with Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri?"

Welcome back to the stand, members of the jury! For this episode, your detectives are breaking down the clash of generations that is the Best Actor 2018 race. They dive deep into what happened when three legends over 55 duel against two up-and-comers in their 20s, why this category has historically been bad (and didn't change this year), and actors in fat suits. They also discuss what this may mean for the Oscar race in 2026. You can follow the show on Instagram, TikTok, and Bluesky @anatomyofanoscar and on Twitter @OscarAnatomyPod.

Welcome, people of the jury, to the inaugural episode of Anatomy of an Oscar! In this show, your hosts exhume the corpse of the 2018 Academy Awards and ask: Did the Academy get it right? For our first episode, we are diving headfirst into an exciting category: Best Director. What happens when five first-time nominees in this category go head- to-head? How are we able to contrast the three established names finally getting their industry recognition with two of the most exciting new voices in American film? What happened between the start of the season and nominations that bumped major players Martin McDonagh and Luca Guadagnino out of the race? And what does this year mean for the upcoming Oscars in 2026? all this and more in: Anatomy of an Oscar!
