Oscars 2023: Above the Line with Antonio Elefano

Enjoy The Long Take’s first…audio edition? Proto-podcast?

Fellow Oscars enthusiast and writing professor Antonio Elefano joins me to debate who will win Oscars in the Academy’s eight biggest categories, as well as share who we think should win. (And, in some cases, who we think should have been nominated.)

I plan to post our written thoughts as well, complete with a Short Take and Long Take for each category we discuss here. Some but not all points overlap between this recording and the text you’ll see soon. If you want something more structured and formal, check out our writing in subsequent posts. For a looser, more conversational version of our takes, pop this recording on while you commute or wash dishes. (That’s prime listening time for me!)
