Welcome to Season 3 of Snubs & Dubs! This season we are covering the 74th Academy Awards, featuring the films of 2001.
For Episode 25, we are finally talking about the 74th Best Picture Winner, Ron Howard's A Beautiful Mind. A human drama inspired by events in the life of John Forbes Nash Jr., and in part based on the biography "A Beautiful Mind" by Sylvia Nasar. From the heights of notoriety to the depths of depravity, John Forbes Nash Jr. experienced it all. A mathematical genius, he made an astonishing discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But the handsome and arrogant Nash soon found himself on a painful and harrowing journey of self-discovery.
