🎧 Sandler Oscar Buzz & a Michael B. Jordan ‘Sinners’ Theory
Subscribe to Prestige Junkie After Party to hear this private convo! Today we weigh in on ‘The Social Network Part II’, TIFF’s first awards & more
Hello, Prestige Junkie subscribers! It’s finally time to lift the velvet rope on Prestige Junkie After Party and invite you in on the real awards season conversations we have amongst ourselves, but never in front of an audience — until now. In today’s debut episode, Christopher Rosen and I get into a list of topics, including but not limited to…
Why we love awards season, even when it drives us crazy
How Happy Gilmore 2 might boost Adam Sandler’s future Oscar chances (really!)
Why Avatar: Fire & Ash, Wicked: For Good and Sinners ought to do well with Academy members (who aren’t as snobby as you might think)
What we want to see from The Social Network Part II, whether or not Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White wind up being in it (don’t even get me started on Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg, a possibility that broke after we recorded)
Reading the tea leaves on the TIFF Tribute Award recipients, and why it might finally be Park Chan-wook’s year
Why Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen’s honorary Emmy might be making up for a rude snub
How Will Arnett could fit into an already crowded best actor race
Our hot takes of the week — which will close every subscriber-only episode! — including why I’m already concerned about Michael B. Jordan’s awards chances for Sinners
