We on Morning Joe have loved the overflow of political, historical, and just plain awesome movies in the last year. We’ve had a number of guests on to chat about their roles in these great films, so it came as no surprise to us to see that three of our recent guests were honored with Oscar nominations. Check out a few interviews with stars and creators of three films nominated for Best Picture at this  year’s Oscars from Morning Joe.

Above, Bradley Cooper joined us to chat about “Silver Linings Playbook,” which earned eight nominations—including Cooper’s Best Actor nom.

Ben Affleck came on the show to chat about “Argo,” which was nominated for seven Oscars.
