Oscars 2023 | The 95th Academy Awards Winners and Wrap-Up

What did you think of the 95th Annual Academy Awards?

For this special Oscars 2023 wrap-up, Aaron and Amanda discuss the events, speeches, and winners of the 95th Annual Academy Awards, including a noticeable lack of professional slapping.

The Academy Awards (“Oscars”) are the most prestigious awards in filmmaking and showcase some of the greatest talent and work in motion pictures for that running year. The nominees and winners are selected by majority vote from members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Ballots are cast by members from within the industry and, in most categories, represent the corresponding branch (ex.: actors nominate actors).
