A mega episode covering 15 feature films and 15 short films calls for plenty of homework and a whole lot of fun. The big nominee getters are just as exciting of watches as this group of films Sophia and Nick discuss today, two-thirds of which are only featured on this Contenders episodes. So follow along for a quick recap about each film, how they enjoyed each nominee, what other film they would write in, and which they hope will win. The time stamps for the categories are as follows: International Feature, Documentary Feature (19:58), Animated Feature (35:44), Animated Short Film (48:28), Live Action Short Film (56:49), and Documentary Short Film (1:10:30). Comment on socials what some of your favorite inclusions are!
