EPIX Celebrates Golden Globe® Winners and Academy Award® Nominees with Primetime Marathon of Hollywood Sessions

Premium entertainment network EPIX celebrates Golden Globe® winners and Academy Award® Nominees with an encore primetime marathon of Hollywood Sessions February 9 through February 13 at 8pm ET/PT, 7C, to coincide with the return of Oscar® ballots. This five-part series – an homage to the film award nomination and voting process and the 2014 Award Season – that premiered on the network in December 2014 features the actors and directors who worked on 2014’s most notable films in unguarded conversations with Los Angeles Times film writers Rebecca Keegan and Mark Olsen. The provocative, entertaining, and boisterous discussions that take place in Hollywood Sessions focus on the stars’ and filmmakers’ careers in the limelight, industry trends and how their acclaimed projects came to life.

Many of the actors, actresses and directors featured in Hollywood Sessions – Patricia Arquette, Steve Carrell, Laura Dern, Michael Keaton, Richard Linklater, Eddie Redmayne and J. K. Simmons, among others – won Golden Globe® Awards, received Academy Award® nominations or both.
