Taylor Swift’s Toy Story 5 Ballad Might Score an Oscar

Taylor Swift’s Toy Story 5 track “I Knew It, I Knew You” gained early traction on country radio, closing Mediabase’s panel at 157 reporting stations, signaling strong eligibility for a Best Original Song Oscar. Variety analyzes the Oscar history around Toy Story songs and country music, Swift’s ongoing chart dominance, and the potential impact of an Oscar nod (and Swift’s possible on-stage involvement) on the Academy’s willingness to honor a country-leaning tune from a cross-genre superstar.

TSA flags Oscar as weapon; eight-pound statue goes to cargo, later found in Frankfurt

At JFK, TSA agents allegedly treated Pavel Talankin’s Oscar for Mr Nobody Against Putin as a potential weapon and ordered it be checked as cargo. Lufthansa later disclosed the statue was located and is being returned to Frankfurt, with the airline apologizing for the inconvenience. Talankin had previously carried the award on flights without incident, and the incident prompted Lufthansa to review its handling of guests’ belongings. The documentary centers on Putin’s propaganda and led to Talankin seeking exile after Russia banned the film.
