OSCAR SPOTLIGHT - Joker

NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS | By Jeremy Goeckner

Published January 22, 2020 at 3:30 PM CST

Our #OscarSpotlight series continues with a look at the most nominated and quite possibly the most divisive film of the year; the 11-time nominee #Joker. In Gotham City, mentally-troubled comedian Arthur Fleck embarks on a downward-spiral of social revolution and bloody crime. This path brings him face-to-face with his infamous alter-ego: "The Joker".
