2026 Oscars Special
Paul and Amy break down the 2026 Oscar nominations, celebrating the surprises, lamenting the snubs, and making their early predictions for Hollywood’s biggest night. They champion overlooked favorites like Edington and Sorry, Baby, Josh O’Connor in Wake Up Dead Man, and Amanda Seyfried in Testament of Ann Lee, while digging into the year’s major contenders. And with Sinners leading the pack with a record 16 nominations and momentum shifting after Michael B. Jordan’s SAG win, they debate whether the film can overtake the other awards-season juggernaut: One Battle After Another.
