We pack a lot into this week's Empire Podcast. It would be remiss of us not to address Alan Rickman and David Bowie, two movie icons who sadly died this week, and so we begin with a tribute to their enormous respective contributions to cinema.
Then, we talk Oscars. Nominations for the 88th Academy Awards were announced this week, and so we pop on our prognosticator's hat to debate the potential winners and losers. Will Leo win this year? Should Chappie have had a look-in? And what exactly is "category fraud", anyway?
As if that wasn't enough, we somehow find room in the pod booth for not one, not three, but two interviews: Domhnall Gleeson and Alejandro González Iñárritu, the star and director, respectively, of the Oscar-nominated epic The Revenant.
Like we said - we pack a lot in this week. Set aside ninety of your most precious minutes and enjoy. You can listen to the Empire Podcast via our iTunes page, our SoundCloud page, via this handy RSS feed, or by pressing play below.
