The K Cut Episodes 19 and 20: Oscars Roundtable

It’s day two of the final week before Sunday’s Academy Awards. Instead of an article and a new K Cut episode, we bring you a two part, gigantic Oscars Roundtable special! In each part, we talk a bit about the Oscars, then we analyze every single Academy Award category. Some groups will be “bite sized”, where we give a brief overview of what our favourite nominees were and who we think will win. The remaining categories will have a much more thorough discussion, including rankings and debates. Listen in to a brand new episode… well, two brand new episodes from The K Cut!
