It's Oscars-week, listeners! So we're taking a break before the season six playoffs for an Academy Awards trivia special with three very special guests. Joe Reid and Chris Feil (This Had Oscar Buzz) and Katey Rich (Vanity Fair / Little Gold Men) will have their awards season historical acumen tested with a tougher-than-usual Oscar speech game, and puzzles about long term Oscar narratives. Some crazy title-deciphering makes for an excellent lightning round where our true champion takes home that Oscar gold.Support Us On Patreon🥇 Become a patron and get special perks from ad-free episodes to full bonus matches!Follow Us🐦 @USAQuizShow on Twitter📷 @USAQuizShow on Instagram🧑‍💻 Our website is USAQuizShow.comEpisode Notes🗒 Brackets and full episodes notes can be found on this episode's page on USAQuizShow.com👑 David Byrne got his Oscar for The Last Emperor and has come this close to getting his EGOT.❄️ Peter Capaldi's Oscar is for a short film, Franz Kafka’s It’s A Wonderful Life, starring Richard Grant.🎥 The "L" in cinematographer Conrad L.
