The Week That Was: Timothée Chalamet Has Gone Too Far… Oscars Drama, Nicole Kidman Rumours & Fashion Chaos

Welcome BACK to The Week That Was, where Kate Forster and Tansy Gorman break down everything happening in pop culture, whether it deserves it or not.This week, Tansy is running on theatre fumes (nine hours in a windowless room will do that to you), Kate is promoting her daughter’s show like a stage mum on steroids, and somehow we end up deep in the chaos of the Oscars, celebrity behaviour, and fashion politics.They unpack the biggest moments from the Oscars, including historic wins, horror finally getting its flowers, and whether Timothée Chalamet has officially gone too far. There’s also a deep dive into Hollywood image control, Kylie Jenner discourse, and why the Academy still feels like a slightly elitist high school.Then, naturally, things spiral into:Nicole Kidman soft launching a possible romance (??), fast fashion vs high fashion confusion, and why finding a decent mid-range outfit in Australia is basically impossible.Plus:Why horror films are suddenly dominating the industryThe Timothée Chalamet backlash explainedNicole Kidman, Simon Baker & PR romances (allegedly…)Fast fashion, Zara collabs and the death of “middle” fashionWhy some TV shows are absolute vanity projectsA genuinely good binge recommendation (rare from Kate)It’s chaotic, it’s opinionated, and it’s exactly what you’d expect from two women who are across everything and over most of it.You’ll also hear:Tansy’s theatre show update (and why it’s actually worth seeing)Kate accidentally going full cultural criticA surprising amount of rage about clothesNew episodes of The Blunt and The Beautiful drop twice weekly — subscribe for your regular dose of unfiltered commentary on pop culture, relationships and whatever else we feel like talking about.#theweekthatwas #thebluntandthebeautiful #kateforster #tansygorman #oscars2026 #timotheechalamet #nicolekidman #popculturepodcast #australianpodcast #celebritynews
