Hi Hodgepodgers, Doug here. Once again, the time has come for Hollywood to fete its greatest performances of the year and, once again, The Hodgepodge Podcast will be delivering its live blog of the show! The problem, as you can probably tell from our limited output in 2024, is that I haven’t seen many of the Oscar-nominated films. This was due to a combination of things, but mostly, I just wasn’t thrilled by what I was seeing coming out of Hollywood this past year. Only a few films had enough punch to get me out to the theater. Judging from the results of the run-up award shows, most of the categories are pretty much wide open, so in that regard, this should be an exciting year. Conan O’Brien (one of my favorites) hosts, so I know there will be a ton of laughs. If you want to see me be as confused as I’ve ever been, come on back on SUNDAY, MARCH 2nd at 7PM!
