With the news that Tracee Ellis Ross and absolute internet delight Leslie Jordan are reading the Oscar nominees on Tuesday… well, we’re psyched (and so is Mr. Jordan!)
Since they’ll be much to say once those (perfectly pronounced) names are read, The Chair is holding any further comment until we can assess all the snubs, surprises, and snoozes (you know they’ll be some). Stay tuned for a new podcast tackling all things Oscar nominations — coming THIS week! In the meantime, to prepare of course, check out the most recent episode of Pod from a Chair where we breakdown our nomination predictions (Will! Nicole! LMM! and Ben?!?). Till then…
Episode 28: It's Oscars Time 2026 (Did you miss us?)! – Pod From A Chair
We're back… and yes, I suppose that means this really is an Oscars/Awards season pod. But you love it (we hope!). Joined as always by our favorite Oscar voter Barry, whose hot takes never cease to amaze us, The Chair and Holly unpack all the major categories. Will Amy Madigan prove us wrong about the Academy's beef with body horror? Is this Paul Thomas Anderson's year? Will he finally thank our beloved Maya Rudolph? (Note: he better!) Can Timmy get out of his own way? (duh, of course not) Find out this and more!
