And come back to THR.com on Monday after the shows air for the full, uncensored discussion online.
The sixth of seven episodes — the Documentary Roundtable — airs Sunday, Jan. 24, at 11 a.m. ET/PT on cable systems and at 8 a.m. ET/PT satellite systems (Dish and DirecTV). New episodes will air every Sunday leading up to the Academy Awards on Feb. 28.
The filmed roundtable panels feature Oscar nominees and other top stars of the year’s most buzzed-about films, including actors, actresses, writers, producers and directors. Guests will discuss everything from their individual projects to their crafts and true stories from the business. The panels will present thoughtful, informative takes on the film and television industry today.
