We're breaking from our interview episodes for Arab American Heritage Month and bringing you a special conversation with none other than the Arab Godfather of Cinema, writer-director ELIA NINO, about all things Oscars and the 95th Academy Awards. In part one of this talk, we discuss everything from this year's telecast, about adding new categories to the ceremony and about the new diversity and inclusivity rules that AMPAS is putting into effect real soon. Part Two will feature our commentary as a bonus episode about each category's nominees and winners.
