CXXIII: LIVE! Oscar Recap & Reaction

 This episode of the Almost Sideways Movie Podcast was recorded and streamed LIVE immediately following the conclusion of the 2021 Oscars Ceremony.  The entire AlmostSideways team (Terry Plucknett, Zach Saltz, Todd, Plucknett, Adam Daly) come together to give their initial reactions to a Oscars truly unlike any other.  Who won our Oscar Challenge?  Did we like the streamlined format?  What were the biggest surprises and disappointments?  Why in the world did they present awards after Best Picture?  Was Best Actor last because they thought Chadwick Boseman was winning, or did they want to end with the shock of him losing?  All these topics and more in this very special episode!
