By Milly, Lily, and Vee
Where's Her Oscar?Jun 06, 2022
32. The Ring (2002) with Vanessa!
We delve into the cult classic horror remake with a very Tumblr-esque cinematic profile. Also discussed, Isabelle Huppert, YTV, and Nicomi rumors.
31. The Impossible (2012)
This week we're back with the first of two Naomi Watts Oscar nominations! Unfortunately, we didn't love this movie as much as the Academy (but we're still happy she was nominated).
30. 3 Generations (2015)
This movie is bad in so many different ways but it gave us some deeply deeply tremendous Susan Sarandon + Naomi Watts interactions.
29. St. Vincent (2014)
We're back after a week long break with another 2014 movie! This one is... somehow worse than the last one but that didn't stop the SAG voting body from giving Naomi Watts her third nomination for it!
28. While We're Young (2014)
Literally only Vee seems to like Baumbach but we ALL love Margot at the Wedding.
OFF-SCRIPT: Our Class of 2021 Picks!
We're taking a break from Naomi Watts this week and talking about our ideal lineups for the 2021 Oscars. Yes, if anyone is wondering, Vee finds a way to bring up Isabelle Huppert.
27. Mulholland Drive (2001) Part 2 - The Awards with Sophia!
This is the second half of our Mulholland Drive episode where we talk about Cannes, the Golden Globes, and obviously, the Oscars.
27. Mulholland Drive (2001): Part One with Vivi!
Today we talk about the movie that started it all, the best movie of the 21st century, and David Lynch's final "normal" feature film with special guest Vivi! Buckle up because nobody has figured out how to discuss this movie in a sane manner.

24. Office Space (1999)
We're feeling disillusioned by our jobs today and discussing the slow march of despair in capitalism (or something like that). We also talk about how a Videodrome remake would work and our love for "people hate their jobs" movies.
23. The Iron Giant (1999) with Kerry!
Brad Bird, the Incredibles, Pixar (even though this isn't a Pixar movie) and more in this discussion on The Iron Giant!
22. The Good Girl (2002)
Early 00s dark-comedy, cynical suburban despair, it's all our favorites in a movie that we aren't too fond of! But with a Jennifer Aniston performance that we think is great!

21. Just Go With It (2011) with Alexa!
A dense episode (and supposedly funny). We talk Nicole Kidman as a comedy queen, the defense of Adam Sandler comedies, and Jennifer Aniston leaving this (largely) unscathed!
Follow us on Twitter @WheresHerOscar!
INTRODUCING Jennifer Aniston (and Lily!)
A little intro to our second season on Jennifer Aniston and another little intro for Lily who is joining us our 3rd co-host! So many changes, so much fun! We are having a great time! Honest to God, it's a great time! We are having so much fun! SOOOooo much fun!

A run of the mill biopic with great Oscar success, who would've thought. But we do get into the 2010 THR Actress Roundtable, so you really should listen just for that!

15. Julie & Julia (2009) with Annabel!
Today we're talking food, blogs, and Chris Messina's charm, it's our Julie & Julia episode! Annabel joins us to discuss our thoughts on Nora Ephron, the weirdness of making a movie on Julie Powell, and Amy Adams' bizarre haircut.
14. Junebug (2005)
We finally get to Amy Adams's first Oscar nomination, a movie (perhaps an underrated gem) that we both ADORE. Listen to us talk about 00s awardsy indies, pregnant stunt doubles, and how much we love Amy Adams.

7.1 Vice (2018) with Vanessa - an attempt
Here's an episode that is literally not about the movie we're talking about! Want us to talk about Naomi Watts' unemployment, this year's Oscars and just EVERYTHING about Nicole Kidman? This is the episode for you! Want us to talk about Vice? Maybe try another day. (If you are just finding this podcast and want this to be your first episode, maybe choose another one because this episode is not like the others...)
It will be released in two parts because I (Vee) am pretty sure it's cursed with all the bad energy we got from literally everyone we talked about in this episode. Happy listening! Big thanks to Vanessa for joining us.
