Hailee Steinfeld had a sinfully sweet reason for missing the 2026 Oscars.

After all, the pregnant Sinners actress—who is expecting her first baby with husband Josh Allen—is due to give birth imminently, as her costar Michael B. Jordan pointed out during his acceptance speech for Best Actor during the March 15 ceremony.

Indeed, as the 39-year-old thanked his castmates, he offered a heartwarming shoutout to “Hailee at home,” noting that “she’s getting ready to have a baby right now.”

As for Michael, he certainly closed out award season on a high, beating Marty Supreme’s Timothée Chalamet, One Battle After Another’s Leonardo DiCaprio, Blue Moon’s Ethan Hawke, and The Secret Agent’s Wagner Moura for the prestigious accolade. In fact, the 39-year-old previously described the significance of being among this year’s most celebrated performers.

“I’ve admired and seen the Academy and the other actors in the movies and filmmakers that I’ve looked up to and been inspired by my whole life,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in January. “To be in those conversations and in that company is a solidifying feeling.”
