Second Annual Talkie Awards! We go through an extensive town-hall style debate to see which movies should win in every category of the 2018 Academy Awards. The winners… may surprise you. The discussion… just may save your life.
Part 1 has the specialty categories and technical awards. Part 2 (later in the week) will have writing/acting/directing and Best Picture.
