Season 8 of The Way Too Early Oscar Podcast has begun under way! Pop Break film editor (and Rotten Tomatoes Certified Critic) Marisa Carpico and Pop Break senior podcaster Matt Taylor return to discuss all the potential 2026 Oscar hopefuls… and begin a bold new pivot into a fully EGOT podcast.
This episode, Matt and Marisa have their annual Golden Globes discussion. Normally, this is one of their favorite award shows due to its chaotic and silly nature.
However, the 2026 Golden Globes … were sleepy. Despite the snooze fest, they still hopped on a microphone to record their thoughts.
Find out where they think the major Oscar aces are standing, who they thought were the hotties on the red carpet, and what they thought of the chaos of the Golden Globes always brings to award season.
