The Snubs and Surprises of the 2026 Oscar Nominations Sinners broke the nomination record, Wicked: For Good was shut out, and the Academy is proving more international than ever.

I'm giving you Snubs, and I'll even throw in Surprises for free: www.vulture.com/article/osca...

this is all of your interests coming together!

Interesting note about Sinners’ 16 nominations—it was nominated in every single category it could’ve been.

There are 24 Oscar categories, and the eight it missed are the three Shorts, Animated Feature, Doc Feature, International Film, Adapted Screenplay, and Lead Actress.

What about if they give it to Weapons?

Great post. I had no idea about the Drake connection!

They are an imaginary middle-class Long Island family that lives inside Chuck Schumer's head, and who he uses to help guide his decision-making. (This is not a joke.)

This thread is genius

Ben Affleck apologises for groping Hilarie Burton in 2003 Affleck said he had ‘acted inappropriately’ towards the actor on an episode of MTV’s Total Request Live while another video of the star asking a journalist to expose herself has also come to light

In fairness to this person, he was an alcoholic for a very long time which resulted in a lot of behavior we now consider unsavory: www.theguardian.com/film/2017/oc....

The Race for Best Picture Is Up in the Air It’s pencils-down time for Oscar season 2025-2026, and the biggest category is up for grabs: Best Picture. Six spots seem solidified, but that leaves four others up in the air. Here are Gold Rush columnist Nate Jones’s best guesses.

You didn't wanna sit through TRON: ARES? 🤣

YMMV but the Marty Supreme soundtrack has been huge for me this year

Good night for Hamnet, Secret Agent and of course OBAA; bad night for Sinners and It Was Just an Accident.

What if we kissed in the Barry Goldwater Memorial in Paradise Valley, Arizona?

Thank you for the shout-out! Here's my THOB league team. Like you I love my role players, feels like I run eight deep with solid contributors.

Maybe I'm crazy but I feel like Leo is the main alternative. In a close race the tie usually goes to the person from the Best Picture frontrunner

This one Nate paragraph has at least two, possibly three of the funniest sentences I will read in 2026
