The Lone Acting Nominees podcast cover art

By: Gordon McNulty

A podcast covering each of the films to only receive a single Oscar nomination - in an acting category. Each week I'm joined by a different guest where we talk about the nominated performances, the rest of the film surrounding them, and their place at the Oscars in their respective years. Hosted by Gordon McNulty. Twitter - @loneactingnoms Letterboxd - @loneactingnoms Instagram - @theloneactingnominees
