The 2025-26 awards season is marked by candid critiques, with one Academy voter anonymously expressing strong disapproval of Timothée Chalamet's perceived arrogance during his Oscar campaign. This sentiment highlights the scrutiny actors face regarding their public statements.
A new rule for the 98th Academy Awards requires voters to watch every film in a category before casting their ballot. However, some industry professionals, speaking anonymously to Entertainment Weekly, admitted that adherence to this rule might be inconsistent due to the sheer volume of films.
Across various categories, industry insiders such as actors, directors, editors, and publicists revealed their secret ballot picks. They offered detailed, often surprising, justifications for their choices, spanning a diverse range of films from blockbusters to independent dramas.
Notable discussions included praise for Amy Madigan's transformative role in 'Weapons' and Wunmi Mosaku's performance in 'Sinners,' with some voters prioritizing nuanced performances over popular choices or perceived career achievements.
