The 97th Academy Awards are happening this weekend. There are 10 best picture nominees, including critic’s picks The Brutalist starring Adrien Brody, Sean Baker’s Anora, and a fan-favorite this year, Wicked.
Filmmaker Alison Bagnall is a professor at Drexel University who co-wrote the screenplay for Buffalo ’66 and directed popular indie films like The Dish & the Spoon, starring Greta Gerwig. In this Studio 2 extra, Bagnall talks about her picks for this year’s Academy Awards, the movies that didn’t make her list, and why the Oscars — and Hollywood at large — are in a moment of cultural reckoning.
