The 2015 Academy Awards airs on Feb. 22. Join us to discuss the Oscars’ expansive reach in both the movie industry and American popular culture. We’ll also cover the seemingly endless campaign season, indescribably foolish upsets in Oscar history, and the dynamics of the voting bloc. And watch lots of clips.

Plus, we’ll aim to handicap this year’s race (so you can own your ballot) and provide you with fun Oscar trivia (so you can own your Academy Awards cocktail party).

This class is presented in partnership with The Hive 2.0.
