Awards Heaven Podcast is went LIVE immediately after the 2026 Oscars with Tony Ruiz, Charlie Bright and yours truly, joined by special guests Daniel Montgomery and Christopher Tsang to break down everything that just happened.
The winners, the shockers, the snubs, the speeches that worked, the speeches that absolutely did not, and the moments that will dominate film Twitter for the next 48 hours. We’ll be reacting to the biggest wins of the night, the categories that went sideways, and the moments that left us staring at the screen wondering if the Academy had just lost its mind. Expect celebration, disbelief, passionate arguments and a few instant hot takes that may age terribly by morning. If you want the immediate, unfiltered reactions from people who live and breathe this stuff all year, you’re in the right place. Think of it as the awards season group chat, except everyone is talking at once and nobody is pretending to be diplomatic. Grab a drink, jump into the live chat and tell us the one Oscar result you’re still processing!
