It hasn’t been the most notable year for movies — especially from an artistic perspective.
But there are plenty of storylines to follow going into this year’s Oscars. There’s no host this year. The music is getting a lot of attention. And Netflix productions are up for awards this year.
Sonia Rao is a pop culture reporter with the Washington Post, who is covering the Oscars this year.
Cheyna Roth is the Michigan public radio world’s unofficial resident movie buff and couch critic. Officially, she’s the state Capitol correspondent for the Michigan Public Radio Network.
Ryan Patrick Hooper is co-host of Culture Shift on WDET.
Rao, Roth, and Hooper join Detroit Today with Stephen Henderson to preview this year’s ceremonies, talk about those storylines, and reflect on the best and worst movies of the past year.
