Oscar, Oscar!

Host Jason O’Brien, writer, producer, and director shares his choices for the top 100 movies of all time during Oscar, Oscar! along with interviews with such top movie personalities as legendary director Oliver Stone, who also happens to be a personal hero of Jason’s.

O’Brien is not only involved in the film industry but is also the consummate fan of movies and has developed a website dedicated to all things relating to the Oscars given annually to the top movies of the year. O’Brien openly admits that he doesn’t necessarily agree with American Film Institute’s choices of the top 100 movies and gives his reasons why he thinks his listing is a better reflection of the best of the best of the genre and presents his opinions in a non-confrontational and engaging style.

He opens each show with the latest in film news and then he moves quickly into current happenings in the world of film including details of little known, and sometimes offbeat, exhibits that help to bring the history of film making to a modern artist such as a schedule of regular screenings of Best Picture nominees that didn’t win and locations for showings of home movies of and by such film greats as Ester Williams, Steve McQueen, and Alfred Hitchcock.
