Awards Show Dining: Sparse Plates, Big Buzz

A New York Times observer highlights the growing fixation on what stars eat at awards ceremonies, noting viral, meager meals at events like the Critics Choice Awards, the prevalence of strict dieting or last-minute menu requests (e.g., vegan options), and the tendency for celebrities to snack little during the broadcast while feasting at after-parties. The piece uses this culinary curiosity to comment on wealth, spectacle, and celebrity culture during awards season.

BAFTAs Reshape the Oscar Race With Surprises

The BAFTAs delivered notable shocks in key acting categories and reinforced the Oscar race’s unpredictability: Wunmi Mosaku won Best Supporting Actress and Sean Penn won Best Supporting Actor, fueling a three-way precursor split among major awards and complicating forecasts for who’ll win. Amy Madigan’s BAFTA absence narrows the field in Supporting Actress. One Battle After Another rides momentum for Best Picture after a BAFTA Best Film win, while the Best International Feature race remains tight between Sentimental Value and I’m Still Here. With upcoming Producers Guild and Actor Awards on the horizon, the final Oscar lineup remains up in the air.

BAFTA Upsets Put Acting Races in Flux

BAFTA’s acting prizes delivered several surprises that diverged from Critics Choice and Golden Globes: Jessie Buckley dominated Best Actress for Hamnet, Sean Penn won Supporting Actor, Wunmi Mosaku won Supporting Actress for Sinners, and Robert Aramayo pulled a shocking Best Actor win for I Swear. The results muddy Oscar predictions, especially with Timothée Chalamet still in play but no longer as clear a frontrunner. One Battle After Another led BAFTA wins, crafting a season-wide pattern that still leaves the final Oscar outcomes wide open as PGA and SAG precursor awards loom, with the Movies Fantasy League updating its standings accordingly.

BAFTA Surprises Could Recast the Oscar Race

BAFTA’s 2026 nominations deliver five pivotal moments that could tilt the Oscar race: Kate Hudson’s Best Actress nod boosts her campaign alongside the other frontrunners; Amy Madigan’s Best Supporting Actress chances are hurt by BAFTA’s omission; Delroy Lindo was snubbed by BAFTA despite an Oscar nod, complicating his path; KPop Demon Hunters was excluded from BAFTA’s Animated Feature lineup, opening room for other contenders at the Oscars; Chase Infiniti earns a Rising Star nomination, adding a wildcard to the endgame as One Battle After Another and Sinners duel for Best Picture. Gold Derby’s odds still favor One Battle After Another for Best Picture, with Sinners a distant challenger.
