On the show today... we are officially shells of human beings. The 2026 Oscars finally happened, and between the historic wins and the high-stakes snubs, we are going through it. We need to debrief why the "two-movie race" between Sinners and One Battle After Another left us with a major adrenaline headache.

Plus, we are crumbling over Michael B. Jordan’s Best Actor win. It felt like our team won the Super Bowl, and we have thoughts on his emotional speech (and Timothée Chalamet’s very polite "loser" face). We’re breaking down the history-making cinematography win that stopped us in our tracks and why the Academy is finally, slowly, getting over its fear of horror movies.

And, the weirdest moments that have us obsessed: Why was Sean Penn a total no-show? What was with the awkward Zendaya and Rob Pattinson presentation? And we need to discuss "Oscars Leo"—because Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't looked this good since the 90s and we have theories.
