The Oscars: a Look Back

BBC World Service - Weekend, The Oscars: a Look Back

A look at best films of the past, ahead of Sunday's Oscars; Venezuela stand-off continues

A look back at how good some past Oscar winners have been, as we look forward to the 91st Oscar ceremony on Sunday in Los Angeles.

And as the standoff in Venezuela continues, we hear from a supporter of Nicolas Maduro.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Myriam Francois, Franco-British writer, journalist and film-maker based in London and Sir Venki Ramakrishnan, American-British molecular biologist born in India.
