Episode 194 - Danny Taylor

 LISTEN TO THE EPISODE ON APPLE PODCASTS HERE

On today's episode of the podcast, I have Broadway percussionist and conductor, Danny Taylor!

Danny Taylor

Danny is a unique guest to the show as he's not only an incredible Broadway performing musician, but he's also my cousin. Now, I may not completely understand the genealogical math behind it, but he's either my third cousin, or my second cousin once removed. If you understand it, feel free to explain it me, but know I probably still won't get it. Danny and had never met each other until a few years ago, and much to our family's chagrin, this was a crime that needed to be rectified. We finally met in the most cliche, Hollywood way possible, on the Warner Brothers lot at the Eastwood Scoring Stage. 

Tim and Danny's first time meeting at the Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Brothers.

Tim and Danny while recording the show

I talked to Danny about growing up playing the drums and learning his technique, learning the dynamics of playing in a band, putting in the work to prepare for the future, getting his first Broadway show, playing in studio sessions for movies, playing in the "In the Heights" orchestra, softball with Lin-Manuel Miranda, touring with "Aladdin", becoming a conductor on Broadway, and so much more. 

A big Thank You to Danny for taking the time to join me on the show. He had just returned from playing some shows on the road with his band and I was thrilled we were able to get him on the show. It's not a family reunion if it isn't recorded, right? Make sure to follow Danny on all of the links below. 

Thanks, Danny!

Tim's 96th Oscar Picks

It's that time of year again! The red carpet is rolled out and the Oscars are here! Which can only mean one thing, it's time for my annual Oscar Picks!


Jimmy Kimmel is back for as our host and I'm incredibly excited to see what he has in store for us. 

This year's nominees are one of a kind and I had pleasure as always speaking with a number of them. Oppenheimer has been quite the powerhouse this award season, and I expect that to continue tonight. Some of these races are so tight that I may as well have just flipped a coin to decide them. I'm also really looking forward to seeing Ryan Gosling perform "I'm Just Ken" on the Oscar stage. The past two years I've only predicted 1 wrong. Can my streak continue?  
Without further ado, here's my picks for the 96th Oscars. 

BEST PICTURE

Oppenheimer

BEST ACTOR

Cillian Murphy

BEST ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE

Robert Downey Jr. 

BEST ACTRESS

Emma Stone

This is a toss-up. It could go either way between Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone. While I know a lot of people are leaning towards Lily Gladstone after the SAG win, which is statistically smart, I'm picking Emma Stone for the upset. While they both won the Golden Globe in their respective categories, Emma Stone has led the way with the awards this season, including the BAFTA which Lily Gladstone wasn't even nominated for. I think the international vote pushes Emma Stone to win. 

BEST ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE

Da'Vine Joy Randolph

BEST DIRECTOR

Christopher Nolan

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY

Oppenheimer

BEST ANIMATED FILM

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

BEST EDITING

Oppenheimer

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

Anatomy of a Fall

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY

American Fiction

BEST DOCUMENTARY

20 Days in Mariupol

BEST ANIMATED SHORT

War is Over! Inspired by Music of John and Yoko

BEST LIVE ACTION SHORT

Red, White, & Blue

BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT

The Last Repair Shop

BEST COSTUME DESIGN

Barbie

This is a tough one. I honestly feel like it's a toss-up between Barbie and Poor Things. They both won their respective categories at the Costume Designer Guild awards, but the momentum seems to be going towards Barbie here.

BEST HAIR AND MAKEUP 

Maestro

BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE

The Zone of Interest

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE

Oppenheimer

BEST ORIGINAL SONG 

"What Was I Made For?" - Barbie
Billie Eilish & Finneas O'Connell

BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN

Poor Things

This one is also a complete toss-up between Barbie and Poor Things. I think what gives Poor Things the edge here is winning the Art Directors Guild and BAFTA.

BEST SOUND

Oppenheimer 

BEST VISUAL EFFECTS

The Creator

Don't miss the 96th Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel on ABC. This year's show starts an hour earlier at 4PM PST.

ShortsTV presents the Oscar Nominated Shorts in theaters

As the Oscar nominations have been announced, ShortsTV is once again giving you the opportunity to see all of the nominated short films in theaters. 


Once again, we will be working with ShortsTV to bring you interviews with the Oscar nominated filmmakers from each shorts category. 

Official ShortsTV trailer for the 2024 Oscar Nominated Shorts

In my opinion, short films tend to be one of the most overlooked categories by a viewing audience, even though these films often pack the same punch the features do. One of my favorite things about covering the Oscar Shorts every year is watching so many new/young filmmakers find their way to becoming major filmmakers we grow to love, and sometimes, even seeing tenured successful filmmakers return to the shorts to tell a story. 

Click on the link below to find out where you can see this year's Oscar Shorts, brought to us by ShortsTV. Oscar shorts hit theaters starting February 16, 2024.

The Academy creates Casting category for 98th Oscar's

 The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gave us an exciting announcement today, that starting in 2026, for the 98th Oscars, films released in 2025 will be considered for an Academy Award for Casting. This is such an exciting announcement as there are so many roles that should be recognized for their hard work in filmmaking. Still waiting for Stunts to get their own category, but this is good progress. See the Academy's official press release below!


ACADEMY ESTABLISHES CASTING AWARD FOR 98TH OSCARS®

 

LOS ANGELES, CA – The Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced today the creation of an annual competitive Academy Award® for Achievement in Casting, beginning with the 98th Academy Awards® for films released in 2025.

“Casting directors play an essential role in filmmaking, and as the Academy evolves, we are proud to add casting to the disciplines that we recognize and celebrate,” said Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang. “We congratulate our Casting Directors Branch members on this exciting milestone and for their commitment and diligence throughout this process.”

“On behalf of the members of the Casting Directors Branch, we’d like to thank the Board of Governors, the Awards Committee and Academy leadership for their support. This award is a deserved acknowledgment of our casting directors’ exceptional talents and a testament to the dedicated efforts of our branch,” said Academy Casting Directors Branch governors Richard Hicks, Kim Taylor-Coleman and Debra Zane.

Category rules for eligibility and voting for the inaugural award will be announced in April 2025 with the complete 98th Academy Awards Rules. The specifics of the award’s presentation will be determined by the Academy’s Board of Governors and its administrative leadership at a future date.

The Casting Directors Branch was created in July 2013. There are currently nearly 160 members of the branch.

The last new award category created was Best Animated Feature Film, established in 2001.
