Remembering the Forgotten Movies of the 2026 Oscar Season A salute to the urgent documentaries, quiet dramas and provocative filmmakers who were ignored by Academy voters.

The Oscars are Sunday. For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, I paid tribute to 10 great movies from 2025 whose names we won't hear once during the show. Which is a shame.

The gentlemen responsible for the Grierson & Leitch podcast did this very thing constantly in high school. Those are some of our favorite memories ever. As usual, Ted Sarandos is saying something that he wants to be true, not something that actually is.

This is a thing even in pretty big suburbs. My wife and I routinely have to go into Hamilton (30m drive) or downtown Toronto (1hr train) to see art house, indie or foreign films.

I’m 50 with a family, and my local theatre only shows children’s films and dreck (Marty Supreme, did not come here. One Battle was 1 week!).

I live 2 hours from the nearest multiplex, and 6 from an IMAX. And I plan entire weekends around getting to either of those locations to watch movies.

I lived in a small town 30 minutes away from my closest theater and all my friends in high school. The day I got my license, I drove to see a movie.
