Here on This Had Oscar Buzz we love to muse about what films might have made a Best Picture lineup if there were 10 nominees in certain past years. So for October, we decided to do an entire Excursion on it! We'll be talking what-ifs for the film years 1979, 1988, 1995, 1997, 2000, and the year that got us the Best Picture Ten, 2008.

Jack

Thank god, honestly

Erin

Love this!

JPB Gerald

How did no one think of Janie's Got A Gun as the name?

JPB Gerald

A fish called Wanda is just so funny

Robert Anton

I haven’t listened to this yet but I wanted to say that I’m so genuinely excited for it.

I think this crowd will understand my pain for this story. I was at pub trivia and the question was about the Patricia highsmith novel turned into a movie starring cate Blanchett, what's the movie. I lost my mind, starts with c, five letters, but all I could pull was Clair. I've never felt like I let my Garys down more.

Jenny Maurer

My favorite fosse movie is cabaret

Michael

I have issues with rules of the Weakest Link. If you are the strongest link you shouldn’t be able to get voted out by the other contestants !

J Kyle Wilsor

DANCER IN THE DARK EXCEPTION PLEASE!!!

Jeremy Ball

I love what ifs and alt awards stuff like this. So much so that I made a spreadsheet of my choices for every category of every year (ala David Sims). So this episode is right in my wheelhouse. More of these please!

Rob

Best Excursion to date? Loved this so much! ❤️ I see Miramax handily getting ‘The Wings of the Dove’ into a field of ten, especially given the 4 Oscar nominations, 2 BAFTA wins and the Alison Elliott SAG nomination.

Brady Thomas

Another contribution to the Horse Cinema canon - "My Friend Flicka", which was 100% a VHS tape my one grandmother happened to own

Riley

Jane Lynch Has A Gun almost made me laugh out loud at my desk thank you so much for that

Taylor Cole

The Black Stallion absolutely rules. Can’t recommend enough! There’s a 30 minute no-dialogue stretch of just the horse and the boy that is among my favorite chunks of movie ever made. Up there with the ballet in The Red Shoes and the last 20 minutes of Close Encounters. I can’t speak on Black Beauty.

Clint

the “chocolat!” a la rupaul’s “chaka khan!” killed me

Clint

honestly i recall more than one scene in the wrestler where it seemed like rourke and tomei were very likely not filming their scenes together/at the same time

Liesl

I too am watching 99 to Beat with my family. It is not a particularly good show, especially the lackluster host commentary, but we are having the best time making fun of it while we watch.

Chauncey Telese

Roger Rabbit was the second highest grossing film of 88 and was universally acclaimed.

Brandon Skidmore

Speaking of “The American President”….we’re begging

Ruan Felipe

Love this so much. It's my favorite mini game from you guys and I even started a spreadsheet to compile every time you've done it. It's somewhere in my drive

Carrie Williams

Finding out that Chris just now learned he can write down the filmography movies is killing me. I can’t even do the Movie Snake without writing all the movies down!

Ang Lee's Dad

In addition to Jack and Meryl, an '00s Jane Fonda/Jack Nicholson mainstream comedy could have been SUCH a funny movie.

Elliott Sainsbury

I remember the muted reception to Jackie Brown back in '98, which put me off watching it for YEARS until I caught up recently. Genuinely my favourite Tarantino and should be Sam Jackson's Oscar.

Elliott Sainsbury

Highly recommend Jinkx Monsoon's perfect version of Liz Taylor's 'Glaaaadiator!' Globes moment, it's on YouTube.

John Ananias

I love that we're all - most everyone I've heard from, anyway - glad that Conan's coming back. Having been a fan of his for well over two decades, I'm real glad the reaction toward him was & is positive.

TheRealestXtina

THANK YOU for playing the Christian Bale rant remix. It’s important. You can also look up and listen to his apology on some LA radio station. It’s actually really charming and feels authentic and then ends with a very funny commentary about Michael Phelps. Highly recommend.

George Wishart

Is it me or would JACKIE BROWN be a good exceptions episode?

Enrique Gomez

In the horse movie discussion I will not stand for Hidalgo erasure.

David Kirk

Good to hear Joe talk about the impact of Dead Man Walking. Not American so it’s not a live issue but it definitely had an impact on me as a teenager. It’s not just that Sean Penn’s character is guilty. He’s guilty of a really horrible crime rape and murder of a teenage couple. So there’s not the cop out of a robbery gone wrong or a so called crime of passion. A movie, Yield To The Night (1956), did help the cause of abolition in the UK.

Keegon

Not to be hyperbolic, but I will listen to as many episodes like this as you want to do. I'd also like to pitch an Indie Spirits variant where you select ten performances (Lead/Supporting) from years when that didn't exist. Not even necessarily just ones that would qualify for Indie Spirits.

Tad Hopp

I mean, I do this kind of thing all the time so this episode was like an excursion into my brain. Like, what would have been the 10 nominees in 1999? Or 2006? This and also going down the rabbit hole of what if so and so won their Oscar for this movie instead of that one, how does that change future years winners? Like, if Daniel day Lewis had won for gangs of New York, does he still win for there will be blood and Lincoln? Or does someone else win those two years? And if so, who? Would love to see an excursion on that type of what if scenario!

Patrick Dennis

Shoutout to Prince Philip’s horse in Sleeping Beauty, which is the only Disney horse I can think of with any personality at all

Zac Wolf

Was looking up “Bale Out” since I totally missed it back in 2009 and screamed when I saw it was made by LUCIAN PIANE 💀

Carly

I love how 1997 was a year people got into the Oscar’s because of titanic but for me I was so excited that a film from Yorkshire was nominated despite being too young to see the full monty

Michelle Brosius

I’m so late to the party, but I love these types of excursions!! Because of this episodeI started watching Apollo 13, which I’d never seen before:) Also, I think Penelope Cruz’s performance is one of the best wins of all time. Also great example of a true supporting role. I rewatched The Reader recently. It’s a better movie than I recall, but definitely not Kate Winslet’s best performance, though she gives a worthy one with a very difficult and imho not well-written role.

Alexander Rose

Was Doubt really that hated critically ? High RT score !!
