This week, the Screen Actors Guild Awards added complexity to the Oscar race, while the Pop Culture Happy Hour crew discussed standout cultural moments. Among them is 'Flow', a nominated film for both Best Animated Feature and Best International Feature, marking a historic first for Latvia. The narrative follows a cat overcoming challenges post-flood, uniquely told without dialogue. Additionally, Glen Weldon highlighted Pete Seeger's work, particularly 'We Shall Overcome', praising its emotional depth. Lastly, 'Deal or No Deal Island' has become a talking point among reality TV fans on NBC.
"Flow is not only a nominated film for Best Animated Feature but also the first Latvian film ever nominated for any Academy Awards, showcasing a remarkable milestone for the industry."
"The film's unique storytelling without dialogue effectively showcases the survival instincts of a cat amidst a catastrophic flood, while emphasizing realism in animal behavior."
