182: Lost Ladies at the Academy Awards

Still from The Seventh Veil

In this bonus episode, fasten on those Harry Winston jewels! With Oscar night approaching, Patreon members get “red carpet” access as Amy takes a look back at some of the films honored by the Academy over the decades which were written (or co-written) by women. Women’s representation in screenwriting categories at the Oscars has been a bit underwhelming. (Case in point: from 1940 through 1985 only three women took home a statue in the Best Original Screenplay category!) From early Hollywood classics to more recent favorites, we hope this bonus episode inspires you to go back and watch the films you know and love (or may have missed entirely!) You can listen to this week’s bonus episode by subscribing to our Patreon. We’ll have a new full-length episode available to everyone on February 27.
