If there's one recurring theme each year, it's to expect the unexpected.

"Sinners" earned a record 16 nominations for the 98th Academy Awards. And then there was the blockbuster "Wicked: For Good," which was shut out.

It was a day of extremes and surprises when the Oscar nominations came out on Thursday. In this week's episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz talk about the biggest snubs and which films could dominate when statuettes are handed out on Sunday, March 15.

And we wrap the show with the new "Game of Thrones" spinoff series on HBA, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms."
