The Letterboxd Show14 Maalis 2023

Best in Show goes to the Oscars! And Everything Everywhere All at Once Sweeps!

Someone let us go to the Oscars! Mia and Gemma were in the press room at the 95th Academy Awards. They witnessed history as Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian woman to win Best Actress and Mia got to pop a question to the reigning queen herself! Brian watched from home and highlights a few speeches and the theory of an ensemble cast hug that was required this year. Plus we chat the “hot editor” and the lack of Elvis wins.

We are also joined by Letterboxd friend and Senior Vice President of The Black List, Kate Hagen to dish the goss from backstage — including gripping hands for Women Talking and getting to hear “Goonies for life!” from a forever Goonie, Ke Huy Quan. Slim and Jack’s Fact’s give us some Letterboxd data updates and we almost make it an entire episode without mentioning how Hugh Grant described himself as a “scrotum” on the Oscar stage.
