76. We Made Our Own Oscars… Here Are the Winners

This week on Scene Weekly, Jonathan and Stephen are handing out their own Oscars — and yes, things get a little weird. Looking back at the best films of the past year, the guys make their picks for the classic categories like Best Picture, Actor, and Director… but they also invent a few awards of their own along the way. Expect passionate defenses, questionable logic, and at least one category the Academy would absolutely never approve. The red carpet is imaginary — the opinions are not. Press play.
