January 24, 2025 - Week in Review: Oscar nominations, Netflix price hikes, and Prince Harry
About The Episode
Culture Show co-hosts Jared Bowen, Callie Crossley and Edgar B. Herwick III go over the latest headlines on our arts and culture week-in-review.
First up, the Oscar nominations are out and “Emilia Pérez” breaks the record for the most Oscar nominations for a foreign language film. “Wicked” and “The Brutalist” aren’t far behind, with each movie garnering 10 Oscar nods. We’ll look at the other surprises, snubs and snoozers.
And, “The Brutalist” might be shining at the Oscars, but the light is going out on modern architecture with President Trump’s executive order, mandating classical architecture for all federal buildings.
Plus it’s a tabloid takedown, with Prince Harry settling a legal battle with Rupert Murdoch –winning an apology and an eight figure sum.
Finally, The Doobie Brothers, George Clinton and Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins are among the Songwriter Hall of Fame 2025 inductees.
