Oscars ceremony debrief, plus meet the winning filmmakers behind shock tie

In this week’s episode of The Screen Podcast, the team breaks down the Oscars ceremony and chats to two of the filmmakers who found themselves in a rare tie for an Academy Award. Host Wendy Mitchell is joined by Screen’s Americas editor Jeremy Kay, who attended the ceremony, and box office and awards editor Charles Gant, to break down the 98th Academy Awards. They discuss what worked at the ceremony and what fell flat, who got the biggest cheers, and the food that was served at the afterparty. Then, Mitchell talks to Natalie Musteata and Alexandre Singh who directed Two People Exchanging Saliva - one of the two films to win the Oscar for best live-action short this year, which was just the seventh tied award ever in the history of the Oscars. They explain how it felt to experience the strange situation in real time, and having a “moment with Jay-Z” at his afterparty.
