In this episode, we're covering the 95th Academy Awards. With his tuxedo on and hair done, Everett takes you through the biggest night in movies, including his 19/23 predictions and the Canadians who shone bright.

With a dominating seven wins, including five acting categories, Everything Everywhere All at Once was the talk of the night. But there were also other highlights, including Canadian Director Sarah Polley's win for best adapted screenplay for "Women Talking" and Brandon Fraser becoming the first Canadian to win the Best Actor category.

As well as recapping the night's winners and losers, we also share our thoughts on the impact of Everything Everywhere All at Once's success and whether it could signal a shift in the types of movies that the Academy recognizes. He also makes some way too early early predictions for the 2024 Oscars, highlighting A24's upcoming movie "Past Lives" and "Beau is Afraid," featuring Joaquin Phoenix.
