Mark from the Academy of Death Racers and Rambling Cinema joins Elysia to talk about what she considers three of the most important Oscar categories: International Films (formerly Films Not in the English Language) and the two writing awards – Adapted and Original Screenplay.Avoiding spoilers for those who haven't seen the movies, they talk through what makes or breaks these 15 films, which include Best Picture nominees Emilia Pérez, I'm Still Here, Conclave, A Complete Unknown, Nickel Boys, The Brutalist, The Substance, and Anora. (Though Elysia will argue that A Real Pain and Sing Sing should have been Best Picture nominees as well / instead.)Stick around until after the credits for updates from last night's Independent Spirit Awards, and what that says about the state of the Oscar race.Links referenced in the ep:Rambling Cinema (Nottingham, UK)The Substance screenplay BTSCoralie Fargeat's Reality+ shortThe 97th Academy Awards airs Sunday, March 2, 2025 at 7 pm (on ABC in the US)Check how many Oscar nominees you've seen at OscarsDeathRace.com – or with extended stats at DeathRaceTracking.comOscars 2025 by categoryOscars 2025 overivew (mini-episode)Animated Features & Shorts + Oscar campaigningOriginal Scores & Songs (Nevermind the Oscars Music)Documentary Features & Shorts + BAFTAs updateLive-Action Shorts + the Emotion MixerInternational + Adapted & Original Screenplays (this ep)Still to comeBlockbuster (Tech) AwardsActing & Directing AwardsBest Picture NomineesDeep dives into 2025 Oscar nomineesThe Emilia Pérez controversyWickedConclaveDune: Part TwoNosferatuAlien: RomulusKingdom of the Planet of the ApesRevisit last year's Oscar seriesOscars 2024 OverviewBest Picture Nominees, Acting, Directing, WritingAnimated, International, Documentary, Shorts"Below the Line" (Tech) CategoriesPost-Ceremony Wrap-UpContact UsQuestions or comments?
