Cate Blanchett's double threat of an Oscar season with Nightmare Alley and Don’t Look Up

In our latest episode, EW’s Clarissa Cruz and Joshua Rothkopf break down the SAG nominees, a pivotal precursor for the Oscars: The snubs (Spencer’s Kristen Stewart), surprises (Bradley Cooper! Ben Affleck!) and biggest takeaways from the guild that makes up the biggest voting branch in the Academy. Our hosts also discuss movie style: Nightmare Alley is a feast of design, from its lush interiors and golden-hued cinematography to its costumes, hair and prop work. We chat about these so-called “craft categories,” saluting the work that often goes unmentioned, even though it’s the first noticed. Then, listen to our exclusive interview with Cate Blanchett, two-time Oscar winner and very much in the race again for her SAG-nominated turn in Nightmare Alley.
