A huge night for 'Oppenheimer' at the Oscars, but 'Barbie' and 'Killers of the Flower Moon' fall short

The 94th Academy Awards capped off a huge year for Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" as it won best pitcture, best director (Nolan), best actor (Cillian Murphy), best supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.) plus three more for seven total Oscars.

But two other films that were expected to be the biggest challengers fell flat, with "Barbie" and "Killers of the Flower Moon" combining for a single Oscar.

In this special episode of Streamed & Screened, Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz break down the surprises and snubs, talk about host Jimmy Kimmel and the pacing of the show, and even take a slight glance ahead to next year.
