Bringing back our favorite recurring feature, in which we compare this year's Oscar race to previous years and see what we can learn. How is Matt Damon like Peter O'Toole?

Then, Katey catches up with Project Hail Mary directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller about the nerves headed into their springtime box office hit, how they balance earnestness and comedy across their work, and the Hollywood legend who inspired Sandra Huller's unconventional onscreen style.
Katey, Chris and Jacqueline share the ten actresses they think are likeliest to get Oscar nominations — and though they all agree on #1, there's a lot of debate otherwise.

In their hourlong conversation they talk about the shared artistic influences that led to their first collaborations, how they created the film's epic scope on a relatively small budget, how they divvy up their roles on set, and some personal influences that made it into La Bola Negra.
