In 2002, director Francois Ozon delivered an actress bonanza with&nbsp;<em>8 Women<\/em>, an homage of Douglas Sirk and Alfred Hitchcock that&#8217;s also a musical and also murder mystery and also a celebration of the biggest French actresses of the moment. Set at Christmas, its titular ensemble tries to discover who among them has killed the family patriarch. Despite a solid run for France in the aughts with their Oscars submissions, Ozon&#8217;s treacly affair did not make it to the Oscar ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This episode, we talk about Ozon&#8217;s filmography and France&#8217;s current difficulties nabbing an International Feature Oscar despite their stature in the race. We also talk about the career of Chris&#8217; fave Isabelle Huppert, the film as Harold They&#8217;re Lesbians core, and our thoughts on&nbsp;<em>The Taste of Things<\/em>&#8216; chances this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topics also include Frances Fisher&#8217;s new cause celebre, Streep\/Short dating rumors, and Madarin Oriental &#8220;I&#8217;m a fan&#8221; commercials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow Us on Twitter!<br><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Had_Oscar_Buzz\">@Had_Oscar_Buzz<\/a><br>Joe: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joereid\">@joereid<\/a><br>Chris: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrisvfeil\">@chrisvfeil<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_8097\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1052-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_272_8_Women_-_Patreon_Selects.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_272_8_Women_-_Patreon_Selects.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_272_8_Women_-_Patreon_Selects.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_272_8_Women_-_Patreon_Selects.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/?powerpress_pinw=1052-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_272_8_Women_-_Patreon_Selects.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"THOB_EP_272_8_Women_-_Patreon_Selects.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Patreon Selects series continues with another dive into French cinema!
