The 2026 Oscars Was Amazing

It is no lie that the song “Golden” from the movie K Pop Demon Hunters was and still is a song that penetrates. 

Whoever wrote that song had incredible vision. Kids everywhere were singing that song with crazed enthusiasm. They gave it the love and attention that it deserved because it is a great song and the singers are killing it as they sing meaningful words of the boundless dreams we have in our hearts. “Golden” didn’t just move young kids but anybody who has the thirst to excel in the world.

I am happy that Hunter/X got a chance to shimmer in the light at this year’s Academy Award ceremony. Their confidence pushed through on that stage before the sophisticated crowd.  It was a magical musical experience. They blew the roof off the place and their performance was met with a well-deserved explosion of cheering.

Their song was the perfect choice to win the Oscar Award for Best Original Song. Truth is, Hunter/X served the world a canvas of magic with their song.

That was just one of the highs of the night that made a smile stretch across my face.  

A few of the other moments that stood out for me was seeing a singer I have had the opportunity to sing side by side with, Mike Yung, win an Oscar award for the Film Short, The Singers. 

What a blessing to see someone you actually know in real time, walk across the Academy Awards stage to get a well-deserved award.

I also loved the fact the Michael B Jordan got the Academy Award for best actor. Sinners was a good movie and I really liked it. I think he is a great actor and ever since I saw him the movie, Black Panther, I have been rooting him on. He is great in every movie that I have seen him in, so I knew it was only a matter of time.  

But what I loved the most was the Best Picture award going to One Battle After Another. If you miss one part in that movie, you miss a lot. This film draws you in and it makes you want to pay attention. The acting is great and the storyline is super unique. Leonardo Di Caprio does some great acting. Any movie with him in it, you are guaranteed to see some great acting because he always does a great job.

Conan O’Brien was a great host for the Academy Awards and my last favorite part was the dance by Misty Copeland with Miles Caton and Raphael Saddiq singing the song, “I Lied to You” from Sinners. It was moving and definitely made the stage come alive.

I guess the entire award ceremony grooved on by as sweet as a love song. This is the first time I watched the awards that I actually enjoyed it from beginning to end. 

What were your favorite parts of the award show?
