Still No Kyle & Jackie O Show Today & Your Guide To The 2026 Oscars

It’s Hollywood’s biggest night, and the 98th Academy Awards are officially underway.

We’re joined by Claire Murphy to preview the unusual traditions you might not know about, the record-breaking 16 nominations for Sinners, and why Timothée Chalamet might have just tanked his chances.

And in headlines today, Mike E steps in for Kyle & Jackie O with ARN bosses worried Sandilands will hit back at them during Australian Idol live shows; Four of the women from the Iranian soccer team offered humanitarian visas have chosen to return to Iran; The US Israeli war in Iran is now in its third week with US President Donald Trump saying he’s not ready to make a deal with Tehran; Australia has wrapped up its 2026 Winter Paralympics campaign with two medals, both scored by snowboarder Ben Tudhope; Rose Byrne is Australia's greatest hope at today's Academy Awards; Queen Mary and King Frederik are in Australia for their first trip since taking the throne, start their day in Canberra today
