276. Ghost of Oscar Past #4. The 74th Academy Awards (2002)

Whoopie Goldberg hosts the 74th annual Academy Awards honoring films like The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring, Training Day, Moulin Rouge!, and A Beautiful Mind (but really Apollo 13). Familiar faces show up for better or worse, Titans rise and fall, and we take a look back at the razzies of the time to see what deserved to be forgotten by the Academy.

Joe is joined by Tyler Pistorius for this black-tie bacchanal to discuss winners, losers, those overlooked, and of course give some predictions for 2022’s ceremony.
