Oscars 2026: The Bloodbath, The Breakthroughs, and Kate Hudson's Stunning Snub
The Academy has done it again – in a year where the nominations are more dramatic than ever. With a record-breaking haul of 16 nominations for Ryan Coogler's Sinners, this film is poised to take home not one, but potentially two Oscars: Best Director and Best Screenplay.
Sinners' impressive showing is a testament to its genre-bending horror-drama-thriller-historical epic that has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. Delroy Lindo and Wunmi Mosaku's stunning performances in supporting roles have earned them much-deserved nods, while Michael B. Jordan's versatility as an actor was on full display with his dual role.
However, amidst all this excitement, one question remains – what happened to The Wicked: For Good? Last year's Wicked Part 1 took home a whopping 10 nominations, but this year's sequel received zero. A total blackout from the technical categories is nothing short of baffling. Did the Wizard and his team forget about their own film?
The snub of Chase Infiniti for One Battle After Another has left fans reeling. The entire film revolves around her performance, yet she was overlooked in favor of Kate Hudson's portrayal in Song Sung Blue.
Kate Hudson's Oscar nomination is a stunning surprise, especially when compared to the more deserving performances in other films like Chase Infiniti's. While Hudson is undoubtedly talented, this snub highlights the Academy's tendency to overlook critical acclaim and instead focus on mainstream appeal.
Other notable snubs include Paul Mescal, who was bumped out of the Supporting Actor category by Delroy Lindo's surge for Hamnet. The absence of high-profile A-listers like Jesse Plemons and Jennifer Lawrence is also noteworthy, while the underwhelming response from James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash is a major disappointment.
With Sinners and One Battle After Another in contention for Best Picture, this Oscar season promises to be anything but boring. For the first time in years, the competition feels fierce, and it will be thrilling to see which film takes home the top prize. The question on everyone's mind – what will the Academy do next?

i mean come on, 16 nominations for sinners is wild, but its not like they forgot about the wicked sequel lol its a film industry thing, you never know whats gonna happen 
and kate hudson being nominated over chases infiniti performance is straight up confusing idk if shes that good lol also paul mesicals absence in supporting actor is sus, wasnt he supposed to be in the running? 
. Kate Hudson getting snubbed for her role in Song Sung Blue is like, totally confusing. I mean, she's talented and all, but I think Chase Infiniti's performance in One Battle After Another was way more deserving of a nomination. It's not just about the acting, though - it's also about how the film showcases her skills. And what's with The Wicked: For Good getting zero nominations? That's like, a total diss to the team that worked on the first part. I'm so down for this Oscar season to be unpredictable and exciting 
! The Academy needs to step up their game and recognize what's truly good in cinema.
. Ryan Coogler's a genius, and Delroy Lindo and Wunmi Mosaku are giving me all the feels 
. But at the same time, I'm also kinda miffed that some of the snubs are, well, snubbed 
. Kate Hudson's performance in Song Sung Blue is lovely, but come on, folks... Chase Infiniti was robbed 
. And what's up with The Wicked: For Good getting zero nominations? Did they just... forget? 
. One thing's for sure, though - this year's competition is gonna be FIERCE 
.
. And what about Delroy Lindo, he's always underappreciated but at least he got nominated this time. But honestly, who gets snubbed when they're basically the heart of the movie? It's like the Academy just decided to play a cruel joke on us this year 
.
. Like, don't get me wrong, she's talented and all, but have you seen Chase Infiniti's performance in One Battle After Another?! 
and Delroy Lindo's performance in Hamnet was amazing. Fingers crossed he takes home Best Actor or at least gets a nom 
. And can we talk about the drama surrounding The Wicked: For Good? Like, what happened to that film?!
