It’s that time of the year again, where movie buffs either rejoice or protest: yes the Oscar nominations have just rolled in.

To understand the significance of some academic nominations, context must be understood- lucky for us Blake Howard gives us the background lowdown on things we may have forgotten… For example: which legendary director was snubbed 20 years ago, but just got a nod this year? Well, you’ll just have to listen in to find out.
