The 2019 Oscars are just around the corner and we're reteaming with Wesley Moon to backseat filmmaker these pictures as Hail Satire! discusses the surprises, snubs and smart money for each of the major categories (picture, directing, writing, acting and animation). Can anyone stop the Netflix groundbreaker ROMA, or will the once favorite A STAR IS BORN come back into the picture. Will the controversies around GREEN BOOK or BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY mire them in a win-less night? Can Spike Lee finally land gold with BLACKKKLANSMAN or even, can BLACK PANTHER keep pushing the ceiling for superhero movies as do the impossible? Plus, where was the love for EIGHTH GRADE, SORRY TO BOTH YOU, CRAZY RICH ASIANS, or THE DEATH OF STALIN? From the fly over country in the gut of the American Southwest, this is Ebert and Ernie, Film Critics - performed by Wesley Moon and Vic Shuttee. Originally recorded January 23, 2018. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.
