KATE HUDSON JUST HIT A MILESTONE SHE ONCE ONLY WHISPERED ABOUT. When the news came in, it didn’t look like celebration at first. There were tears before there was laughter, a pause before the smiles caught up. Kate Hudson’s second Oscar nomination wasn’t met with shock — it was met with emotion, the kind that comes from realizing a long, quiet dream has finally caught up with you. Standing beside Goldie Hawn, the moment carried a weight that went far beyond one role or one performance. This wasn’t just a nomination. It was time folding in on itself. A daughter standing where she once watched her mother stand. A legacy passing through a new chapter instead of staying in the past. The family moment she shared online didn’t feel polished or strategic. It felt real. Overwhelming. Like someone who knows exactly how hard it is to get here, and how easily it could have never happened at all. Kate has spoken before about carving her own path, about wanting to be seen for the work rather than the name. This nomination feels like the quiet proof of that journey — not loud, not flashy, just earned.

Kate Hudson celebrated her second Academy Award nomination with her mom Goldie Hawn and family by her side.

On Thursday, Jan. 22, the star, 46, was nominated in the Best Actress category at the 2026 Oscars for Song Sung Blue alongside Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value) and Emma Stone (Bugonia).

“What a beautiful morning,” the actress wrote in an Instagram post she shared later that day, alongside a photo of her and Hawn, 80, hugging.

She also shared a short video of herself FaceTiming with other members of her family. “Oh my God, you guys! Oh my God, I’m so happy!” Hudson says in the clip.

Hudson was previously nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Penny Lane in the 2000 movie Almost Famous at the 2001 Oscars, though Marcia Gay Harden took home that year’s trophy for Pollock.

Hawn, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1970 for the movie Cactus Flower, also took to her own Instagram Jan. 22 to congratulate her daughter.

“Oh, my baby, my baby, my baby girl! I love you as big as the universe,” Hawn wrote. “Congratulations, sweetheart. Once upon time, I had a little girl named Kate! And look at her now! Yay!”

Hudson stars in Song Sung Blue with Hugh Jackman as musical duo Lightning & Thunder, a real-life Neil Diamond tribute band comprised of Milwaukee couple Mike and Claire Sardina. She also received nominations at the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 11 and at the upcoming 2026 Actor Awards.

A few of Hudson’s celebrity friends responded to her Instagram post on Jan. 22 to congratulate her on her nomination.

“YESSSSSSSS! so proud of you Katie !!!” Reese Witherspoon wrote in a comment. “YES!!! Yes yes yes,” The Studio‘s Ike Barinholtz added, while Dancing with the Stars‘ Julianne Hough wrote, “Yesssssssss ma’am!!!!!!!!”

Conan O’Brien is returning to host the Oscars live on Sunday, March 15, at 7 p.m. ET on ABC and streaming on Hulu.

“This One’s a Long Story.” Inside Mark Knopfler’s Spellbinding ‘Telegraph Road’ Performance That Left Stuttgart Holding Its Breath By the time Mark Knopfler stepped up to the microphone in Stuttgart in 2015, the audience already knew what was coming. Still, no one was prepared for how deeply it would land. “This one’s a long story,” Knopfler said quietly, almost apologetically, his voice warm and unhurried. A small smile crossed his face as he adjusted his guitar. “But if you’ll stay with me…”

“Ringo said it straight: we didn’t always get along… but there was one guy who never let The Beatles get ‘lazy.’” In an interview, Ringo Starr shared a lesser-talked-about key to The Beatles’ success: Paul McCartney was the band’s workaholic. No matter how heated the arguments got, once the count-in started, all four of them gave it everything — and it was Paul who would always call, “Alright lads,” pulling everyone back into the studio to cut more records, write more songs, and make more history. Ringo even said they still thank Paul to this day for everything he did.

HE SAT BEHIND THE DRUM KIT AND ROBERT PLANT COULDN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES. Twenty-seven years had passed since John Bonham died, and Led Zeppelin had vowed never to reunite because “no one could replace Bonzo.” But at the O2 Arena that night, the vow was broken in the most emotional way possible. When the lights hit the drum riser, the person sitting there wasn’t John, but Jason – his son. Jason was the spitting image of his dad, from that slightly hunched posture to the sheer power of his grip on the sticks. When the first thunderous beats of “Kashmir” rang out, Robert Plant turned to look. For a split second, the legendary golden-haired frontman was stunned. His eyes welled up with tears. It was like seeing his dearest friend brought back to life in the form of his son. It wasn’t just music; it was bloodline, a painful yet glorious legacy. But the thing that moved Robert Plant the most was the moment the song ended, when Jason made a small gesture toward his dad up above…

December 10, 2007. The O2 Arena in London. The atmosphere wasn’t just electric; it was suffocating. Twenty million people…
