Episode 176 (Predicting the 2009 Academy Awards)

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're predicting the 2009 Academy Awards. Our annual trend of predicting decade-old awards continues on the podcast, and in this episode you will hear us talking about Slumdog Millionaire, The Wrestler, and famous actors crushing grapes. What we love about the 2009 Academy Awards is how it completely ignored The Dark Knight (aside from Ledger), and proceeded to nominated movies like The Reader for Best Picture. The 2009 awards marked a significant change in the Best Picture format, and we love how the Academy finally got around to nominating the superhero film Black Panther in 2019
