I'm Corey, and this is your entertainment pulse. Entertainment and Celebrity News today. K-pop Demon Hunters took home two big wins at the 2026 Oscars in Los Angeles on Sunday. The Netflix animated musical fantasy film grabbed Best Original Song for the track, Golden, performed by A. A. High, Audrey Nuna, and Ray Amin. It also won Best Animated Feature. During the Song Award speech, EJ shared emotional thanks, but the cutoff music started before the rest of the cast could speak. She pleaded for more time, yet the music kept playing, and then the lights went out.

Earlier in the show, for Best Animated Feature, directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhands, along with producer Michelle Wong, accepted the award. The music cut in prematurely but quieted down, letting them wrap up. Kang, who was born in South Korea, highlighted the long wait for stories like this and hope for future generations. Applehans stressed how films bridge cultures and urge young creators worldwide to to share their own voices. Fans celebrated the victories online, but slammed the interruptions as rude and disrespectful.

Many pointed out it seemed shorter than other speeches and called for an apology from the organizers. DNN is brought to you by our sponsor link in the description. Layback. Press play. Let the pillow do the rest. Sound meets comfort. S-O-L-I.SoliPillow.com.
