Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott announced nominees
Hollywood’s biggest night is only 37 days away . The Academy pushed through two delays from California’s wildfires to finally unveil this year’s contenders, and the race is as dramatic as the circumstances surrounding it.
Netflix’s Emilia Pérez dominates with a scorching 13 nominations. Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña both scored acting nods (Karla is the first out trans actor to be nominated for an Oscar), while Jacques Audiard could take home Best Director.
The race for gold is getting Wicked-ly competitive:
-
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s magical performances in Wicked helped secure the film’s 10 nominations.
-
Adrien Brody’s powerful turn as a post-WWII Jewish architect in The Brutalist (also 10 noms) shows prestige drama isn’t dead.
-
Dune: Part Two proves sci-fi spectacles can still dazzle the Academy.
Mark your calendars: Conan O’Brien hosts the ceremony March 2nd at the Dolby Theater — assuming Mother Nature cooperates. 🏆

🍸 James Kennedy Cleared & Single in 24-Hour Shocker
James Kennedy’s relationship with Ally Lewber crumbled Wednesday, just hours after the Vanderpump Rules star was cleared of domestic violence charges.
The dramatic day began with welcome news for Kennedy, as his lawyer announced the Burbank City Attorney’s Office wouldn’t pursue charges from his December arrest. “James is grateful to have this matter behind him,” attorney Scott Leemon stated, noting his client would focus on “sobriety and his DJ career.”
Ally quickly took to Instagram with her side of the story:
-
Confirmed split from Kennedy after 2+ years
-
Revealed argument stemmed from “him drinking again”
-
Stressed she “was not physically hurt” despite witness reports
-
Supported the DA’s decision to drop charges
The couple’s final month played out like a reality show storyline:
-
Dec 10: Couple attends Kathy Hilton’s holiday party
-
Same night: Police called to Kennedy’s home
-
Kennedy posts $20k bail after arrest
-
Ally posts cryptic “taking time” message
-
Jan 22: Charges dropped & breakup confirmed
The split adds another chapter to Kennedy’s complicated dating history, marking his second major relationship ending in the VPR universe, after calling off his engagement with Raquel Leviss in 2021.
With his exit from Vanderpump Rules already confirmed for next season, fans wonder if Ally (who met James at Tom Sandoval’s band performance) will continue filming. The former couple shared a home since June 2023, complete with two cats and Kennedy’s dog, Hippie. 👀
