After Song Sung Blue’s premiere at the American Film Institute Festival on October 26, 2025, there have been predictions amongst viewers that the movie might receive an Oscar nomination.
The 46-year-old actress revealed to PEOPLE in an article published on November 5, 2025, that she only felt excitement from the news and nothing else:
“Honestly, it's really just exciting. It's very exciting and that's it,"

“You never know with these things. I've been around now long enough to know just to enjoy that people are really loving the movie. And just, you know, show up to where they tell me to go.”
Oscar nominations are not a new phenomenon for Kate Hudson. In 2001, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for playing Penny Lane in Almost Famous. Later in the same year, she won a Golden Globe for the same role.
