This week Jason Solomons and Xan Brooks cast their critical eyes down the newly announced Academy Award nominations, and offer their suggestions as to whether Hugo or The Artist will come out top dog.

The twosome will also be reviewing the Oscar-nominated George Clooney in The Descendants, Clive Owen in horror flick Intruders, Liam Neeson's crash-survival thriller The Grey, and Bertrand Bonello's brothel-set period movie House of Tolerance.

We also speak to Drake Doremus, director of the improvised college love story Like Crazy, starring Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones, and the British producers behind two Oscar-nominated films: Steve Christian, executive producer of Chico & Rita, the animation directed by Fernando Trueba and Javier Mariscal, and Mike Lerner and Martin Herring, producers of documentary Hell and Back Again.
