please welcome these first time panelists!

and please welcome back returning panelists...

ERIK ANDERSON
Erik thanks his mother for his love of all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards together since he was in the single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself at GoldDerby, led by Tom O’Neill and then migrated over to Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), headed up by Sasha Stone before breaking off to create AwardsWatch. He is a member of the International Cinephile Society, GALECA (The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics), the International Press Academy and is the founder/owner of AwardsWatch. [Twitter | Instagram]

JOE REID
Joe Reid is a freelance film journalist, the managing editor of Primetimer, and the co-host of the This Had Oscar Buzz podcast. [Twitter]

and your host...

NATHANIEL R (c'est moi) of course, a freelance film journalist, actressexual, crazy cat lady, film critic for Towleroad.com, a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association, The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics, Eugene O'Neill Fellow, and Rotten Tomatoes approved critic. But you know him best as the founder/editor/owner of The Film Experience. [Twitter | Instagram ]

We'll be back together as a group to discuss In the Bedroom, Gosford Park, A Beautiful Mind, and Iris and more on Thursday. 

 

P.S. If you have any favourite journalists, film critics, cinephile actors, or the like who you think would be perfect for a future Smackdown please do suggest them to Nathaniel who is always on the lookout for guests.
