In this special bonus post-Oscars episode of Cinema Fix, Andrew calls up three special guests to talk about the 84th Academy Awards. First up, Jett Loe from The Film Talk explores demographics and how the Academy is a reflection of larger industry trends. Then, Bad Fever director Dustin Guy Defa gives the perspective of a low-budget independent filmmaker on how much these fancy shmancy awards really matter. And finally, author and pop culture expert Robert J. Thompson comes on to talk about the Oscars' place in history and the growing artistic merits of television.
