Listen "A Woman Robbed: Tilda Swinton and Amy Adams"
Episode Synopsis
A Woman Robbed is a series in which Kevin is joined by a special guest in discussing women who had significant Oscar buzz heading into the nominations but were ultimately robbed/snubbed/omitted from the Best Actress lineup. In this debut episode, Kevin speaks with Cody Dericks about Tilda Swinton ("We Need to Talk About Kevin") and Amy Adams ("Arrival"), who earned nominations from all four major precursors — Critics Choice, Golden Globes, SAG, and BAFTA — but failed to earn an Oscar nomination in the end. We discuss their performances, talk about why they came up short, and reveal whether we would have nominated them.
