And the Winners are...1976 Revised Oscars

I took a deep dive into 1976, along with special guests Betsy & Trent Gorham from Never Seen It Podcast, and after the episode we turned the voting over to you, the people!
We unanimously agreed with one actual winner, who got automatic entry, but the other five categories went to our social media polls for you, the listeners to decide on. 
The voting has concluded and it's time to share the results and officially add these winners to the coveted Revisionist's Almanac. 
With this episode cycle completed, we turn our attention to episode nineteen, where I was joined by Kieran B of Best Picture Cast (3rd appearance), Myke Emal from CineMusts (2nd appearance), and Peterson W. Hill from The War Starts at Midnight (Almanac debut) - to dissect the year 1975 (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest winning Best Picture). This episode will release on Friday, July 4th.
Thanks for checking out the voting results and be sure to subscribe to the channel and rate/review the show!
