Hollywood! Hooray?Hollywood! Hooray?

You would never know it from the total news blackout and absence of hype, but the 84th Annual Academy Awards are this Sunday, February 26. Joining Ben and Joel for this edition of the podcast are returning guests Christian Toto (Big Hollywood) and Matt Prigge (Philadelphia Weekly).

Among the questions we discuss:
• Can you care about movies and not care about the Oscars?
• Who and what got robbed?
• Which of the nine Best Picture nominees will win? Which one deserves to?
• What about the actors?
• What about the actresses?
• What about the animated films? (Related: Why didn't Pixar release a movie last year? No, Cars 2 doesn't count!)
• Which of these nominees will embarrass and befuddle us in 25 years?
• Which of these nominees embarrasses us right now?
And much, much more! (Billy Crystal is mentioned only in passing.)

Music heard in this podcast:
• "Hooray for Hollywood," Nancy Sinatra
• "A Real Hero (featuring Electric Youth)," College (from the "Drive" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
• "Seeding, And Horse Vs. Car," John Williams (from the "War Horse" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, nominated for Best Original Score)
• "The Artist Ouverture," Ludovic Bource (from "The Artist" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, nominated for Best Original Score)
• "George Smiley," Alberto Iglesias (from the "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, nominated for Best Original Score)
• "The Thief," Howard Shore (from the "Hugo" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, nominated for Best Original Score)
• "The Adventure Continues," John Williams (from "The Adventures of Tintin" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, nominated for Best Original Score)

Programming note: This episode of "The Ben and Joel Podcast" is Vol. 5, No. 2. We're hoping to go from a monthly schedule to more of a bi-weekly routine in the next month. Stay tuned!
