Talking Movies on Thursday's Access Utah

Academy Award nominations will be announced tomorrow morning and the Sundance Film Festival is up and running. It’s a good time to talk movies. We’ll ask you for your Oscar predictions and complaints. Also what movies do you recommend? Could be films out now or favorites from the past.
