2012 Academy Awards: The Remix

We’re a week and a half away from the 2022 Academy Awards and the slap heard ‘round the world. With some distance away from all the controversy, one thing remains true about the academy; they often get it wrong. 

We really loved CODA but it’s not really in the pantheon of tremendous artistic achievement with the likes of former Best Picture winners Moonlight and Parasite.

With that in mind, Corey is joined by Oscars expert Cory Schneider to revisit the 84th Academy Awards celebrating the films of 2011. This was one of the all-time head-scratchers as The Artist took home many of the year’s major trophies and films like The Help and War Horse racked up nominations, while great films like Drive and Fast Five (only half kidding) were completely shut out.

In an attempt to right these wrongs, the two Cor(e)ys are forming a two-person academy and remixing the 2012 Oscars to let people know what a worthy slate of nominees and winners would have looked like.
