S03E05: And the Oscar Didn't Go To... (Part 2)

On this episode of The 90s Rewind Report "And The Oscar Didn't Go To (90s edition)", hosts Michael Reagan and Nate Lane are joined again by Season 1 alum host Brayden Decker for a nostalgic deep dive into the films the Academy overlooked—but audiences never forgot. From cult classics to critical darlings that somehow slipped through the cracks, the trio each selects one film per Oscar year that they believe deserved a nomination… or even a win. These are the “almosts,” the snubs, and the outright misses that still spark debate decades later. In Part 2, the guys cover the latter half of the decade, breaking down their picks from 1995 through 2000 (…or technically 1996 through 2001, because as they quickly realize mid-recording, the Oscars are always honoring the previous year’s films—whoops). Expect passionate defenses, a few surprises, and maybe even a little revisionist history as they give these forgotten favorites their long-overdue moment in the spotlight.
