FINAL TALLY BY STUDIO AND FILM - 1:19:55 . . THANK YOU!!!!!/LEAVE US A 5* REVIEW! - 1:23:30 Film-Year-Ending Words of Wisdom - 1:26:35 The 2020 Awards Season has finally ended. We’ve reviewed all the contenders, covered all the news, interviewed a host of talented guests, and we even enjoyed a few side series or 7. But never, in a million years could we have guessed that the year we just lived would end like THIS. It’s truly an unprecedented Oscars, and we break down that finale for the first 25 minutes before we can get back to our regularly scheduled programming. The task of parsing through what they intended and what we all experienced is not something new to us film critics. But we certainly never felt this conflicted after an Oscars broadcast, and we must work through the roller coaster of emotions we all felt from this ceremony. Afterwards, we can get back to doing what we do here at MMO, and that’s a recap of all the highs, lows, wins, and losses from the 93rd Academy Awards. Otherwise, we need to thank YOU for making this such a special year and awards season here at MMO. We could not have gotten through this pandemic with our sanity intact without all of you, and we hope you’ll join us for another awards season that’ll begin, well, almost immediately. We’ll bring this year to a final close after our next two episodes - Oscars Fallout w/ Ryan McQuade and The 2020 Mike, Mike, and Oscars: our annual homemade year end awards show. We promise to ask all of our burning questions to our returning guest in Mr. McQuade, and then as promised, we’ll get very very weird with this year’s MMO’s to celebrate all our favorite things about the apocalypse we just survived. As always, we want to know your thoughts and reactions to this year’s Oscars. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are at Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. You can subscribe / rate / review / like / share / & hear us on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you might listen. We’re Mike, Mike, & Oscar, and we’re making awards season year round, without the stuffiness. Thank you! And do stay safe, everybody.
