February - best known for it’s frigid temperatures in the dead of winter. However, it’s also known as “awards season”, with no more prestigious an awards show than the Oscars to cap it all off. With the big event less than a week away, it’s time for the annual ToB Oscars Preview Show! Julian, Dan, and Jeremy (and a special guest appearance) break down each of the nominees in the major categories starting with “Best Picture” and working backwards from there. It’s a particularly strong crop of movies this year so join the ToB Crew as they make their picks for who will be taking home the golden statues!
