2008: No DOUBT About It: This Was a Snub

Best Picture This

Two greats, Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman, go head-to-head in writer-director John Patrick Shanley's "Doubt," which took home a loot of Best Actor noms in 2008 but was snubbed for Best Picture.

In this episode, Mike and Brian explore the power of ambiguity, talk dramatic stakes, character depth, what makes a supporting actor turn award-worthy and, finally, whether to keep or kick this title from their top fives of the year.
