The Lone Acting Nominees

About The Lone Acting Nominees

A podcast covering each of the films to only receive a single Oscar nomination - in an acting category. Each week I'm joined by a different guest where we talk about the nominated performances, the rest of the film surrounding them, and their place at the Oscars in their respective years.
