1917 is our final Oscars Sprint Profile movie review of the season, and as we speculate in this episode, it could also be the last to hear its name called on Oscars sunday. A non-spoiler review comes first with analysis of all 10 noms & then we dive into the plot in spoilers.

In fact, I think we kinda dragged our feet to review it, fearing that our fandom for Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood would receive a major hit, aaaannd WE WERE CORRECT. 1917 is a terrific film, and it is most deserving of the Oscar Sprint Profile movie review format here. As always, we begin with a non-spoiler section. Though to be fair, we cannot help but quote some of the Andrew Scott scene from Act 1 of the film. So beware of that if you’re allergic to ALL spoilers. But we do otherwise remain spoiler free and analyze all 10 nominations the film received throughout our non-spoiler review. Then our House DJ plays his spoiler warning dance music, and we dive into the plot with a few worsts. But for the most part, we take the time to discuss a whole lot of best scenes. Now if you’ve enjoyed all our Oscars speculation, don’t fret. We have a ton of that here, even putting a creative over/under on how many wins the film may get. We compare the film’s chances to previous years, we harken back to what we know about the production of the film, and we gush about so many great movie moments pulled off by Sam Mendes, Roger Deakins, and company. Make sure you go back to all our 2019/20 Oscar Sprint Profile movie reviews. We’ve now reviewed each of the major nominees with many of those episodes featuring guests like Jon Gabrus & Nick Mundy to only name a few.
