On our last podcast episode, we were joined by some amazing guests and dove into some Missed Oscartunities in the Original Screenplay category. Jacob and Kenzie were joined by Dan, Josie and Nicole as they briefly discussed the news of the week and then began a fun discussion of some overlooked screenplays (AND SNUBS!) in the Original Screenplay category at the Oscars.

The team went through two rounds of choosing the screenplays they wanted to recognize. The first round each person selected two screenplays who were nominated at the Oscars, but did not win. The second round each person selected two screenplays that did not receive an Oscar nomination.
