Amanda Parris and Peter Knegt make some final pleas for nominations and second the words of Ellen Pompeo
Every Monday, CBC Arts runs down the latest arts and culture news on State of the Arts, a live chat between our very own Amanda Parris and Peter Knegt (never fear, Romeo Candido fans — he'll be back next month).
For our latest edition, Amanda and Peter discuss issues surrounding the gender pay gap, specifically with respect to this interview with Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and a series of videos posted by comedian Mo'nique on her Instagram. Then, they dig into a bunch of awards season updates, most notably who they each hope will nab Oscar nominations tomorrow (you can check out Peter's predictions here).
Feel free to add your take on the episode's audience question — who do you hope gets some Oscar love tomorrow? — while you watch below:
