The Academy Awards are this Sunday,
and of course there are a lot of great movies nominated.
However, I would not my nine-year-old son Shepherd
watch any of them. They're not really appropriate for him,
and plus he's the worst with spoilers.
So instead, we let him see posters, short clips,
and trailers of those films
and express his thoughts
to Kevin and Ellie
Let's see who he thinks is gonna get Best Picture.
Hello, Shep.
We're gonna show you some clips.
of the Oscar nominated movies,
and we would love for you to tell us
what you think these movies are about.
All right, are we ready for our first one?
Okay, we'll just jump in.
Announcer:
Let's talk about "The Shape of Water."
What do you think that's all about?
- Yeah, that's... - Awesome.
...actually not far off.
Speaking of that, what is your stance
on fish-woman marriage?
Love is love is love. I agree.
What do you think is, like, the plot
of "The Darkest Hour."
Do you think you would remain steadfast in the face of enemy attack?
Okay.
What do you think it's missing?
Not a lot of romance in "The Darkest Hour."
The most important part of "Dunkirk," to me,
is that Harry Styles made his debut.
If he were to sing, what do you think the song would be like?
So you wouldn't be scared by "Dunkirk."
Oh, you like it.
- Okay. - Getting mixed messages here.
How'd you feel about that?
And then?
Who is it?
Give us your best Daniel Day-Lewis impersonation.
I'll give you a solid five dollars.
I don't have $20 cash.
Then where would we be?
Kevin: Okay, Shepherd,
"Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."
Where do you think this movie takes place?
What do you think it's about?
Frances McDormand is actually only, like, 50 years old.
She's, like, your mother's age, but it's fine.
Shep, if you had three billboards,
what would you put on them?
"I need wood."
What's your second billboard?
Third billboard?
That's compelling.
( woman screams )
What do you think about Jordan Peele's directorial debut?
Biting criticism.
( chuckles ) Yes.
What do you think these evil people are trying to do
to the main character?
How do they torture him?
Strong conclusion.
Do you think the government lies?
- Yeah. - Shep, have you ever read a paper?
What do you think "The Post" is about?
Announcer:
Just your best wild guess.
And Elio?
How does it end?
It's a love story, though?
Okay, Shep, have you told your mother that you loved her, recently?
You should tell her you love her today.
Why do you think it's called "Lady Bird"?
A collection of wings.
Oh, we would love for you to tell us
which one you think is going to win best picture of the year.
Solid pick.
Would you recommend this movie to your friends?
Would you recommend any of these movies to your friends?
Devastating.
Do you want to just go play some videogames right now instead?
- Let's go eat Doritos. - Let's go eat Doritos.
Yep, that's my son.
And I'm proud.
I think he might have a future in film criticism.
Of course he does.
Keep watching
because we're gonna take on the weird Chinese ice eating trend.
The what?
