The Jock is joined by special guest Gerald Morris from The Awards Garage YouTube channel to break down the full list of nominees, highlight the biggest surprises, and debate the most notable snubs. From Best Picture contenders to acting races and directing standouts, we dig into what the Academy got right, what they missed, and what could shape the awards season heading into Oscar night.
