Smash Cut Awards Clash (Ep. 1): Oscar Nominations Reactions


This year, as usual, the Oscar nominations brought us some of the biggest snubs, surprises, and shockers of any award show.

Although we saw Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel lead as expected, films like Gone Girl and Selma were nearly shut out. In the first episode of the Smash Cut Awards Clash podcast. Editor-in-Chief Karl Delossantos breaks down the top 6 categories and talks about the snubs and surprises in each of them.

Check back next week when we talk about the technical races.
