The Ploys and Tactics Behind Oscar Campaigning
Matt is joined by New Yorker staff writer Michael Schulman to discuss his new book \u2018Oscar Wars\u2019 and the ploys and tactics behind Oscar campaigning. They highlight the most devious campaigns in Oscar history and break down this year\u2019s most interesting campaigns, including the gamesmanship involved in Andrea Riseborough\u2019s surprise nomination for Actress in a Leading Role and how these tactics have both changed and stayed the same since the beginning of the Academy Awards. Matt and Craig finish the show with a prediction about Chris Rock\u2019s live comedy special on Netflix.\n\nFor a 20 percent discount on Matt\u2019s Hollywood insider newsletter, \u2018What I\u2019m Hearing ...,\u2019 click this link: puck.news/thetown\xa0\n\nEmail us your thoughts! thetown@spotify.com.\n\nHost: Matt Belloni\nGuest: Michael Schulman\n\nProducer: Craig Horlbeck\nTheme Song: Devon Renaldo\nLearn more about your ad choices.
