Even if you never watch the Oscars or Golden Globes, you're going to hear about them — at work, on social media, in the news. And the language people use in those conversations is full of idioms, phrasal verbs, and phrases that can catch you off guard. In this episode, you'll get the vocabulary you need to join any conversation about film award ceremonies — before, during, and after the show. You'll learn how to talk about predictions and pre-awards buzz (frontrunner, dark horse, gaining momentum), discuss nominations and who deserves to win (up for an award, overdue, big break), react to ceremony moments, and join post-show debates about who was snubbed, robbed, or swept the awards. Every phrase comes with clear examples so you can hear how native speakers actually use them — at a coffee break, in a text to a friend, or scrolling through social media the morning after.
