This week on the InSession Film Podcast, the great Ryan McQuade comes back on the show as we discuss the 2025 Oscar nominations! It’s been a chaotic awards season with a lot of uncertainty, so there was plenty to talk about when comes to this year’s crop of nominees. And, of course, it’s always great to have Ryan back to help us break it all down.

– 2025 Oscar Nominations (7:38)
We begin and end the show this week by discussing the this year’s Oscar nominations. With Emilia Pérez leading the way with 13 nominations, there’s plenty to discuss as to how things got to this point, especially given the discourse and the film’s polarization. The Best Picture lineup isn’t bad, however we do talk about how the rest of the categories leave something to be desired.

– 2025 Oscar Nominations Cont’d (52:04)
After the break, we continue talking about this year’s Oscar nominations and our favorites of the morning. Much of the morning felt uninspired, but there were some really fun surprises along the way. The Wild Robot in sound. A Different Man in make-up. The Substance in general being so heavily recognized despite it being a true horror film, something The Academy has mostly stayed away from historically. We also talk about how The Brutalist might have the best path to the big prize once we get to the Oscars ceremony.
