We're taking a brief breather as life catches up on the 3 of us, so we've decided to repost our very first episode from when lockdown prompted us to start this podcast just over 2 years ago!Our very first episode went back 50 years to 1970 to discuss the 5 films nominated for Best Picture that year, and was the introduction to Revisiting the Oscars for you all!1970 Best Picture NomineesLove StoryAirportFive Easy PiecesMASHPatton *This podcast will contain some spoilers for these movies although we have tried our best to signpost them!If you're enjoying the podcast please give us a 5-star rating, subscribe to the show, and join us on our social media channels!FOLLOW US!Twitter: https://twitter.com/UpLateAtNightAgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/uplateatnightagain/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/revisitingtheoscars/Website: https://uplateatnightagain.com/Podcast Links: https://revisitingtheoscars.buzzsprout.com/Episode Link:  https://uplateatnightagain.com/2020/06/10/episode-1-revisiting-the-oscars-1970/ 

On this episode of Revisiting the Oscars we're moving forward in time to 1990, when  'The Godfather Part 3' was released to conclude the trilogy. Listen on for more discussion on the optimal way to eat an orange, whilst Bingham thinks he may have found the best ever impersonation of a donkey....It's a bumper year for the gangster genre with Scorsese's classic 'Goodfellas' also on the agenda this time around, alongside the smash supernatural hit 'Ghost', forgotten Robin Williams/Robert De Niro drama 'Awakenings' and Kevin Costner's 'Dances With Wolves'.We also muse on Bingham's status as an honorary Englishman, recent footballing success and Mason's fondness for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.Hit us up on our social media channels and let us know your thoughts on this episode!1990 Best Picture NomineesThe Godfather Part IIIGhostAwakeningsGoodfellasDances With Wolves *This podcast will contain some spoilers for these movies although we have tried our best to signpost them on this occasion!If you're enjoying the podcast please give us a 5-star rating, subscribe to the show, and join us on our social media channels!FOLLOW US!Twitter: https://twitter.com/UpLateAtNightAgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/uplateatnightagain/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/revisitingtheoscars/Website: https://uplateatnightagain.com/Podcast Links: https://revisitingtheoscars.buzzsprout.com/Episode Link: https://uplateatnightagain.com/2022/08/04/revisiting-the-oscars-podcast-episode-24-1990/

Last time round we headed back to 1972 to talk about arguably the greatest film of all time in 'The Godfather', so we felt it would be rude not to continue the series with the next entry in the trilogy - all of which were nominated for Best Picture.That means we're in 1974, a year in which Francis Ford Coppola had 2 films nominated for the big prize (also 'The Conversation'), alongside leading roles from all time screen icons like Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman ('Lenny'), Jack Nicholson ('Chinatown'), Paul Newman and Steve McQueen (both 'The Towering Inferno').There might also be a long overdue return to some Corrie chat alongside a discussion about how best to eat an orange (seriously)....!Hit us up on our social media channels and let us know your thoughts on this episode!1974 Best Picture NomineesThe Towering InfernoChinatownLennyThe ConversationThe Godfather Part II *This podcast will contain some spoilers for these movies although we have tried our best to signpost them on this occasion!If you're enjoying the podcast please give us a 5-star rating, subscribe to the show, and join us on our social media channels!FOLLOW US!Twitter: https://twitter.com/UpLateAtNightAgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/uplateatnightagain/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/revisitingtheoscars/Website: https://uplateatnightagain.com/Podcast Links: https://revisitingtheoscars.buzzsprout.com/Episode Link: https://uplateatnightagain.com/2022/06/30/revisiting-the-oscars-podcast-episode-23-1974/
