The 100-Year History of Oscar Campaigning

For as long as the Oscars have existed, people have campaigned to win them. Back in 1929, when Mary Pickford was nominated for best Actress at the second-ever Academy Awards, she invited the voting committee - then just five people - over to her house for tea. And won. In today’s episode, we’ll unpack the history of Oscar campaigning, and explain why frontrunner Timothee Chalamet has been making headlines. 

Hosts: Lucy Tassell and Emma Gillespie
