## Resource

For episode 280, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This is our penultimate predictions episode, as Oscar ballots are due today. Looking at the results from the Producers Guild Awards and especially the SAG Actor Awards, we try to figure out what's happening with the Academy. Spoiler alert...we're not sure yet. We also talk a bit about The Bride! (reviewed here ) and some more about Hoppers (reviewed here ), as well as Pillion (reviewed here ), which Myles has finally seen. Plus, we take your questions, helping to fill things out as we prepare for final predictions next week... As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 280th one to date (here’s to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab ( here ) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening!
