10 years ago last week saw the release of 'The Artist', a throwback film released 80 years after the end of the silent era that dominated the awards season, but has now all but disappeared from the public conscious.
The 2020 Oscar nominations are in, and not everyone is thrilled by the results; personally, I was surprised by how much they got right but it's certainly not a flawless list.
'Moonlight' is probably best-known for that now infamous Best Picture debacle, but it deserves much better than that. More than anything else, it tells the type of story that movies that compete for, and win Oscars, very rarely tell.
It's Oscars season! And just like we did with the Grammys, we're giving our picks on who and what we think will be the big winners of the night. Considering there were so many big names this year like Moonlight, La La Land, Fences, Manchester by the Sea, and others, it should be a crazy night. We also had to touch on how NY reacted to the travel ban (sorry we had to), and later in the show we give our thoughts on the movies we saw from the Best Picture category and whether we thought this year's diversity was constructed or just a happy coincidence.
We have returned with the next episode of The Fearless Show and on this episode we give our reactions to this year's Oscars and we see who picked the most winners.

Then we close things out by discussing Dareece's recent exhibit opening in our hometown of Colorado Springs and any upcoming art shows he plans on checking out.
To many people's shock, Apple TV's 'CODA' won three Oscars this year, let’s take a look into the factors that contributed to it’s remarkable success and how it will pave the way for streamers in the future.

We're back talking about the rapidly evolving Jussie Smollett situation, the brilliance of The Umbrella Academy and Russian Doll, our thoughts, opinions, and impressions about this years Oscars ceremony, and we see who got the most winner predictions right.
The Oscars are in crisis and they've tried several changes over the years that have all largely failed. There's no easy fix but, I think the answer has one solution: get the Oscars the hell off of network TV.
With 24 nominations, Netflix leads all production companies in this year's Academy Awards, dominating the most prominent categories.
Farah Nabulsi, gave us an eye-opening and heartrending look into the lives of everyday citizens who are suffering the consequences of political isolation and unrest through her Bafta-nominated and Oscar-nominated short-film, 'The Present.'
We're back with frequent collaborator and 2nd time co-host, Stephen Silver (@stephensilver) to discuss all the major goings on in Hollywood, the biggest snubs and surprises in the Oscars nominations, and our predictions for the 91st Academy Awards.
2017 was just what the Academy needed after the past few years' increasing outcry over the Oscars' lack of diversity. They bounced back with a record list of diversity that almost seemed too good to be true. But ultimately I chalk it up to more lucky coincidence than manufactured inclusion, and it's brought us one step closer to our films truly becoming art imitating life and the world around us.
'Parasite' was the big winner at this year's Oscars, and Bong Joon-ho's success could (and should) open doors for other traditionally overlooked filmmakers.

In our first show of the new decade we discuss the tragic passing of Kobe, the growing debate about Oprah, the Supreme x Tupac controversy, Big Sean finally addressing Kendrick Lamar, and our thoughts about the Grammys and Oscars.
The fabled EGOT — when a single performer wins an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony over the course of their career — has only been achieved by 16 people in history, and 2021 could be the year that Lin-Manuel Miranda joins that prestigious list.
Following a Board of Governors meeting earlier this week, the Oscars announced no new changes in regards to streaming, but the category formerly known as Best Foreign Language Film will now be known as Best International Feature Film.
For this show we have Shannon Griffiths, frequent writer and collaborator, joining us as a co-host. We ask her what shows she's currently watching and her thoughts on Time's Up and this recent wave of change washing across Hollywood and how that may affect this year's Oscars. Then we give our annual predictions on the winners and react to the biggest snubs and surprises.
We're back (Shannon, Dareece, and Dario) and we're ready to discuss our thoughts about the Oscars and most importantly see who won from our prior predictions. But first we open by getting Shannon and Dario's opinions about Black Panther and close with discussions about Lion King 2, Sandlot 2, and Disney's continued (lackluster) effort at making live-adaptations of their classic animated films - which spawned the meme worthy phrase, "You don't know about Kovu bro?!". As well, as Shannon's Top 5 Stephen King adaptations and new shows like Counterpart and Hap and Leonard that you should all check out.
