In episode five of Letterboxd’s limited series awards season podcast, Mia, Brian and Gemma examine the Sundance-to-Oscars pipeline, chat with John Carney, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emilia Jones in Park City, assess the Sundance Film Festival’s 2023 winners, chat with Ana de Armas’ hair and makeup team from Blonde—Jaime Leigh McIntosh and Tina Roesler Kerwin—and revisit the first film to win the “big five” Academy Awards: It Happened One Night. Tune in for garbled thoughts about Clark Gable’s shirtless chest, the hitchhiking scene that changed culture, and the stars who made us feel confident as baby red carpet journalists.
Credits: Recorded in Los Angeles, Auckland and Park City. Edited by Slim. Facts by Jack. Transcript by Sophie. Theme: ‘Hyperlight’ by Letterboxd member Trent Walton (AKA Echo Wolf). Best in Show is a TAPEDECK production. Title courtesy of Christopher Guest.
