OSCAR WATCH 2026 – SONG SUNG BLUE

Why is it that the very best movies, the ones that everyone loves the most, ISN’T nominated for Best Picture?

The movies follows the real life story of Lightning and Thunder (aka Mike and Claire Sardina), tribute singers who became a duo act to create the Neil Diamond Experience.

This film makes you want to jump up and join in, singing and dancing to some of Neil Diamond’s most famous (and not so famous) songs. There is joy, laughter, tragedy, catharsis (quite literally) and good times all around. This movie reminds you that you can overcome any obstacle to find your dream and live it.

Lead actors Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson performed all the singing vocals themselves and they were amazing. It will be a tough call on who will win Best Actress, but Kate Hudson certainly deserves it.

This movie was not nominated for Best Picture but it should have been.
