We react to the just announced 94th Academy Award nominations. We talk about the big (early) winners in The Power of the Dog, Dune, Belfast, West Side Story, CODA, Being the Ricardos, Flee and more. We look at the big categories and what stuck out as a surprise or a snub. Stay tuned for the rest of Oscar season as there will be plenty more shows devoted to the Academy Awards including episodes breaking down the Best Picture contenders, predictions and after the ceremony reactions. We will also have another edition of Dakota and Rachel pick who they would nominate.
