🎬 What this livestream is all about
I’m teaming up with Rachel’s Reviews for a full, category‑by‑category breakdown of the 2025 Academy Awards—but with a twist. Instead of predicting what the Oscars will do, we’re deciding what the Oscars *should* do. Expect passionate debates, surprising agreements, and a few “how did the Academy miss this?” moments along the way.

🏆 Categories we’ll be tackling
- Best Picture
- Best Director
- Acting categories (with plenty of strong opinions)
- Screenplay races
- Animation,
- Best Song

🎤 Why this stream is special
Rachel brings her signature positivity and deep genre knowledge, while I bring the iCritic blend of film history, industry context, and occasional exasperation at the Academy’s choices. Together, we’re building our own version of the 2025 Oscars—one that actually reflects the movies we loved.

📺 Join the conversation
Drop your picks in the live chat, argue with us (respectfully!), and help shape the alternate Oscars ceremony the internet deserves.
