After comparing our viewing experiences (some of us prepared punny food, others didn’t care), we invited Jezebel Senior Writer Rich Juzwiak to swing by the studio and join the discussion. Juzwiak, who once thoroughly explored the conspiracy theories surrounding Marisa Tomei’s 1993 Oscar win for Gawker, shared his thoughts on the so-called “Oscar curse” and whether or not it actually exists, diving into the history of the event and the future for this year’s winners and losers.
You think we’re finished? Think again. If Sunday night taught us anything, it’s that there’s always more, so after kicking Rich out to the curb, we played a special Oscars-related game involving, among other things, The English Patient, Network, and everyone’s favorite topic: the difference between Sound Editing and Sound Mixing.
