It has become a bit of a nice tradition to me that the New York times comes up with a creative idea during awards season each year that features some of the contenders. Last year, had 18 of them, not bad, including the two female Academy Award winners as well. Sadly J.K. Simmons and Eddie Redmayne weren't on board. Two of the actors kiss in the most different situations for whatever reason and one snippet basically lasts one minute. The best for me were Stewart/Boseman and Spall/Oyelowo. The former was simply cool, the latter was really funny. The worst were Cumberbatch/Witherspoon, mostly to Cumberbatch, and Arquette/Schwartzmen, the first totally ridiculous and over the top, the second just pretty uninteresting. All in all, it was a nice watch I think and I enjoyed it. Recommended and I am already curious about next year.
