Anne Hathaway Deserves Second Oscar for This—Not ‘The Odyssey’

Warner Bros.

Pictures It’s a great time to be an Anne Hathaway fan.

You can’t go anywhere without seeing her.

She’s as present as air.

She’s had a whopping four movies released so far in 2026, with a fifth, the Colleen Hoover adaptation Verity , on the way in October.

If you’re sitting at home looking for a movie to watch, you’ll see her face all over Disney+ for The Devil Wears Prada 2 .

Go to the cinema right now, and you have not one, but two different options with Hathaway.

She’s been getting endless acclaim for her role in The Odyssey , and this weekend she’s the lead in David Robert Mitchell’s The End of Oak Street , a film on the other side of the tonal spectrum. (She was also in Mother Mary , in which she’s luminous, but you’d be forgiven for forgetting about it).

Of her wide array of 2026 performances, her role as Penelope in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is the one getting all the attention.

The experts at GoldDerby , a site that specializes in awards predictions, unanimously predict a Supporting Actress nomination for Hathaway for her performance, and the majority predict a win.

Don’t get me wrong.

That’s great! She’s terrific in The Odyssey .

But there’s a problem.

It’s not her best role this year! What is her best role, you ask? That would be The End of Oak Street , where she plays a suburban mother in the ‘80s whose life is thrown into complete chaos when dinosaurs suddenly take over her neighborhood.
