1978: Episode 3-Best Sound

Be ready to blast some eardrums, members of the jury! For this week's case, your detectives are investigating the wonderful and strange world of sound at the 1978 Oscars! There is talk about how the dance sequences in The Turning Point lead to interesting use of mixing, how you craft an underwater world with The Deep, and get BIG and LOUD with Close Encounters. There's a lot of Jawa noises but no noise more concerning than listening to Dean rant and rave about his love of Sorcerer for 20 minutes.

1978: Episode 2-Best Costume Design

Time to take your measurements, members of the jury! For this week's investigation your detectives are diving deep into the fascinating world of Best Costume Design of 1978! There are some true legends of the industry in this category doing some not amazing work. How does Julia translate the femininity of its characters through costumes? What's up with A Little Night Music just in general? Can we even consider the object that is The Other Side of Midnight when it both doesn't exist and is horrible? And, of course, STAR WARS!!!

1978-Episode 1: Best Director

We're heading back to the 70s, members of the jury! For this week's inaugural case, your detectives are analyzing the Best Director nominees from the 1978 Oscars. How did Fred Zinnerman take his cultural cache to make Julia, a movie that is literally just great gowns? Herbert Ross directed two movies this year that are BOTH nominated for Best Picture? Spielberg's alien arrival epic clashes with another little movie about space (hint: It's Star Wars), and Annie Hall comes in with a surprise win!
