SPECIAL: Oscar Picks 2023
It’s Oscar time again!
We’re fast approaching the 95th Academy Awards, so that means it’s time to get our picks set for all the categories! Will Everything Everywhere All At Once complete its awards cycle, or will another challenger upset? Will Jimmy Kimmel hold the fort down after last year’s unexpected ceremony? And what will we enjoy more - the sheer exuberance of “Naatu Naatu” or the sheer delight of seeing David Byrne onstage at the Oscars? Grab your ballots and prepare for your Oscar pools as we discuss our picks for the 2023 Oscars on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
