Warning: SPOILERS for Blue Moon are ahead!
We’re a month away from the 98th Academy Awards nominees competing in their respective categories on the 2026 TV schedule. That includes Ethan Hawke, who’s been nominated in the Best Actor category for his performance as Lorenz Hart in Richard Linklater’s Blue Moon. He’s facing some stiff competition in that category from Michael B. Jordan in Sinners, Leonardo DiCaprio in One Battle After Another, Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme, and Wagner Moura in The Secret Agent. However, after streaming Blue Moon with my Netflix subscription, I think there’s a good chance Hawke could take home this Oscar based on a specific scene.
