Why Olivia Colman Could Follow in Hugh Grant’s Footsteps and Take ‘Paddington’ Into Awards Season (But Not the Oscars)
'Paddington in Peru' has several opportunities for recognition at the BAFTAs, but will — once again — miss the Oscars.
Sporting a maniacally toothy grin that perhaps betrays her true, un-Paddingtonian, motives, she steals practically every scene she’s in from under the noses — and snouts — of her co-stars, not least for a Monty Python-esque and “The Sound of Music”-inspired song-and-dance number in which she cheerily flings a guitar around. For Colman, who is one of Britain’s so-called National Treasures like Paddington himself, the broad love for her across the board and her charming performance give the actress a solid chance of landing a supporting nomination like Grant. While Paddington may have shown he has the legs to survive — and thrive — at the box office after a seven-year absence from the big screen, keeping the momentum going into 2026 awards season is something perhaps beyond even the world’s favorite bear.
