It’s almost that wonderful time of the year where we get to watch our favorite movie-makers celebrate themselves in what seems like a 12 hour award show. We don’t care how long it is, we’d watch another 12 hours if they aired it! Since the 91st Academy Awards is going down this Sunday, we decided to get together and record our predictions for you fine people. These predictions are final (we’re not gonna pull a Beatty/Dunaway and give Best Picture to another movie after we’ve announced the winner...).

We start out the episode discussing the latest movies we watched, what we’ve been streaming on the Netflix and our favorite meals from that week.

We’ve gone through every category that will be announced during the Academy Awards, some categories we spent more time on than others... We have made our predictions available on our website at: www.theavidindoorsmen.com/news and even left a blank ballot so you can play along with us!

In fact, we want to a play a game with our Patrons at www.patreon.com/theavidindoorsmen! The top scoring Patron, if they answer more categories correctly than both of us, gets to choose a movie for us to review! If you want the chance to make us sit through an awful movie, or just want to hear our thoughts on one of your fave films, join our Patreon community today.

How to play: go to our website and print off a blank ballot. Make your predictions with a pen. Take a picture of your filled out ballots. Then tweet us @AvidIndoorzmen the picture of your ballot before the Academy Awards start. When you tweet your picture to @AvidIndoorzmen, add the hashtag: #Grouchies2019. Only the top scoring Patron from our Patreon community will be eligible to win! This is gonna be fun!

We end the episode with another movie game that we’re not terribly great at!

Enjoy listening to this episode and enjoy watching the Oscars!
