A nice little piece of the Oscar puzzle has dropped moments ago. Twelve of the categories at the Academy Awards have released their shortlists. I’ll be pouring over them and reporting back in an updated predictions piece on Friday, as well as the Podcast on Thursday. In the meantime, take a look at the shortlists […] More
Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan have executive produced the last two iterations of The Oscars, bringing Hollywood’s biggest night to life for both those in attendance at the Dolby Theatre, as well as those watching at home on ABC across the country. “We want that room to be warm, inviting, inclusive, and interactive,” says Kapoor. “Because then people watching at home will also […] More
Moments ago, The Academy made some key announcements for the upcoming season. For one thing, we now know the dates relevant to the 98th Oscars. The ceremony will be held on Sunday, March 15th, 2026. Tuesday, January 22nd, will be when nominations are announced. So, we have that information. Plus, some rules and regulations were […] More
Earlier this week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made it official. AMPAS official, in fact. After a successful stint hosting the 97th Academy Awards at the start of the month, Conan O’Brien is coming back. Next year, he’ll once again be the Oscar host, this time for the 98th ceremony. Simply put, […] More
If there was any doubt that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and its powers that be were pleased with the job Conan O’Brien did hosting the 97th Oscars, that can be laid to rest today. AMPAS has invited him back to host the 98th ceremony, which he has accepted. O’Brien will be […] More
Well, I think the dust has now fully settled from Oscar night. I wrote about the immediate aftermath of the 97th Academy Awards here in terms of Anora‘s victory and here about Conan O’Brien‘s hosting, so while it’s not completely hindsight now, we’re pretty close to putting the ceremony in the books. As such, today feels […] More
Welcome back to the Awards Radar Podcast. In each episode, Editor Joey Magidson (that’s me!) will be joined by some of the staff of Awards Radar to talk about the latest in film, television, and entertainment in general. The show will obviously have an awards season slant to it, but we won’t forget about other […] More
Hosting the Oscars is almost always a zero-sum gain. If you’re good, you don’t really get much credit, since the focus of the show isn’t on you. If you’re not good, you become a punching bag. So, the fact that Conan O’Brien is actually getting good reviews for his hosting duties is worth taking note […] More
There are many things for cinephiles to rejoice about in regards to Sunday’s Oscars. Independent movies dominated, led by Anora, while ten of the twenty three categories ended up honoring a production shot on film. They of course include Anora in Best Picture, alongside Best International Feature Film for I’m Still Here, Best Live Action […] More
As I continue my coverage of the 97th Academy Awards, as well as prepare to kick off my rankings of the Top 25 winners of each Oscar category (probably next month), I thought I would put recent history up for debate once again. Namely, last year’s Academy Award winners against this year’s. Hell, we can […] More
Last night brought an Oscar ceremony that again seemed to mostly go over well, both critically and in terms of audience reactions. It was long, there was that Hulu glitch, but the winners themselves seem to please people. Now, did the Academy Awards actually increase their viewership again? Well, the ratings are in and the […] More
Anora is, at its core, about the American Dream. It’s about the fantasy aspect of it, as well as the cold and stark realities of it. Hell, it’s even about the impossibility of it, given the modern world and circumstances that many a citizen live in. That Sean Baker does it in such a fun […] More
