98th Academy Awards Preview, Part Four: Best Supporting Actress

We’ve got a fairly full cosmic field in the race for the Best Supporting Actress award, but Wunmi Mosaku (“Sinners”) is scratched at the starting post, with no celestial referent. Of those remaining, there is one referent each, asteroid Ella 435 for Elle Fanning (“Sentimental Value”), asteroid Inge 2494 for Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (“Sentimental Value”), Amy 3375 for Amy Madigan (“Weapons”) and Taylor 2603 for Teyana Taylor (“One Battle After Another”). As with Best Supporting Actor, the circumstance of having two performers nominated in the same category for roles in the same film tends to split the voting and reduce the chances of success.

98th Academy Awards Preview, Part Three: Best Supporting Actor

Like the Best Actor category, not all nominees for Best Supporting Actor have celestial referents to rate. And like Best Actress, there’s no clear frontrunner among those who do. Delroy Lindo (“Sinners”) and Stellan Skarsgard (“Sentimental Value”) have no valid asteroid markers, and so cannot be considered in this analysis. Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn do, but since both are nominated in the same category for work on the same film (“One Battle After Another”), conventional Oscar wisdom says their votes will cancel each other out, leaving each statuette-less (but we’ll take a look at their chances nonetheless).

98th Academy Awards Preview, Part Two: Best Actress

Unlike the Best Actor race, which shows a clear cosmic frontrunner, Best Actress could turn into a literal celestial catfight, with asteroid Kitty 9563 at 9 Scorpio at station, trine Mars at 10 Pisces, indicating potential feline (Kitty) fisticuffs (Mars) at the 98th Academy Awards, set to commence at 4 PM PDT in Los Angeles on 15 March 2026. Leading the pack are Emma Stone, Kate Hudson and Jessie Buckley, all of whom have impressive resumes for victory.

98th Academy Awards Preview, Part One: Best Actor

Film fanatics, it’s that time again! The nominations for the 98^th Academy Awards were announced on January 22^nd, and as always, there’s a crop of cosmic contenders for Oscar gold. The awards will be held on Sunday, 15 March 2026 at 4 PM PDT in Los Angles, California, but with celestial foresight we might not have to wait to see who takes home the statuette. But one quick caveat before we start – with asteroid Victoria 12 at 25 Taurus on Awards night, named for the Roman goddess of victory, conjoined Uranus at 28 Taurus, ruling shocks, surprises and upsets, literally anything is possible!

2025 Academy Awards Wrap-up

The 97^th Academy Awards were presented on 2 March 2025, commencing at 4 PM PST in Los Angeles, California. Thirteen of the nominees were first-time honorees, a record showing, and no more than appropriate, with a first-time host, Conan O’Brien, as well. Newbies grabbed three of four acting awards, and among the record setters were Best Actor winner Adrien Brody (first person to have two wins for just two nominations, as well as the longest acceptance speech in Oscar history), and “Anora” director Sean Baker (first to win four Oscars for the same film, scooping up Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay and Film Editing).

Aster-Obit: Gene Hackman

On Wednesday, 26 February, 2025, Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and his wife were found dead at their Santa Fe, New Mexico home, following a wellness check by authorities. Also deceased was a German Shepherd, one of several dogs owned by the couple. Foul play was initially ruled out, but evidence at the scene was inconclusive, and police now classify the deaths as “suspicious.” Search warrants were issued for the property to resolve the cause of death, which could extend to accident or suicide, but reporting indicates that the couple may have been dead for some time before discovery.
