## Resource

🎬 Catholic Review Radio’s 2026 Oscars Special dives into the year’s most surprising, soulful, and genre‑bending Best Picture nominees. Catholic Review Associate Publisher C hris Gunty is joined by Daughter of St. Paul Sister Rose Pacatte, OSV News media reviewer John Mulderig, and co‑host Ann Augherton of the Arlington Catholic Herald for a fast‑moving, insightful conversation about Hollywood’s biggest night, coming up March 15. From the imaginative spectacle of Sinners to the quiet beauty of Train Dreams , the panel explores why 2025’s films leaned into offbeat storytelling, ordinary heroes, and marathon running times. They break down each Best Picture contender in brief, highlight standout performances, debate moral and spiritual themes, and share their personal favorites of the year. Whether you love film, faith, or sharp cultural conversation, this episode offers thoughtful perspectives – and a few surprises – on what makes great cinema today.
