We’re about three weeks away from the 2026 Academy Awards.
But it’s never too early to look ahead to 2027, is it?
On March 20, Project Hail Mary will hit theaters — and critics are raving about the Ryan Gosling vehicle to such an extent that there’s already Oscar buzz surrounding the project.
Critic Eric Marchen, for example, shared a glowing review on X, writing that Project Hail Mary is “the first great blockbuster of 2026.”
The movie is based on a 2021 science fiction novel by Andy Weir, the same writer who penned The Martian.
It centers around Gosling’s Ryland Grace… who wakes up on a spaceship at the outset of the story with no recollection of who he is or how he got there.
As his memory slowly forms, the teacher-turned-astronaut soon discovers he must solve the riddle behind a mysterious substance that’s causing the sun to die out.
Or the world will perish.
“Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s must-see space odyssey blasts off as the first great blockbuster of 2026,” Marchen also wrote. “Out-of-this-world cinematography from Greig Fraser reaches for the stars while anchored by a stellar Ryan Gosling performance. This movie ROCKS!”
Critic Adriano Caporusso also praised the film on social media, writing:
“Lord & Miller’s latest plays up a ‘Short Circuit’ bromance to an hysterical extreme while simultaneously delivering a pulse-pounding space epic that brings true humanity to the centrestage, but not without some jaw-dropping visuals alongside.”
Here is a look at the reactions from other well-known critics:
Barry Hertz: “Not quite faster-than-light script with too many endings and one crucial plot point that evaporates, plus a seeming corporate obligation to Amazon’s ROCKY catalogue, cannot suppress the galaxy-sized charms of Ryan Gosling. INTERSTELLAR’ without all the ~stuff~.”
Scott Menzel: “A major awards player across the board… Project Hail Mary is an epic cinematic achievement. Phil Lord and Chris Miller somehow manage to raise the bar once again, delivering what is not only their most ambitious film to date, but arguably their most accomplished.”
Jeff Conway: “A successfully sophisticated blend of humor, sci-fi, drama and suspense. Ryan Gosling is the shining star of this compassionate story about connection and defying the odds, while Sandra Hüller is the tender heart of this beautiful film.”
Kevin Verma: #ProjectHailMary absolutely floored me. Lord and Miller deliver a space odyssey that is deeply human and heartwarming. Ryan Gosling is fantastic here and brings emotion and charm to this SciFi epic. Incredible visuals and a pulsing score. You wanna see this one in @IMAX.”
Project Hail Mary hits movie theaters on March 20, 2026.

A top Department of Homeland Security official vowed during a private call with election officials Wednesday that immigration officers will not be stationed at polling places in November amid Democratic warnings about interference in the midterms by the federal government.
Heather Honey, the department’s deputy assistant secretary for election integrity, dismissed as “disinformation” any fears that officers from Immigration Customs and Enforcement would be deployed to the polls as part of President Donald Trump’s ongoing mass deportation campaign.
“Any suggestion that ICE is going to be present at polling places is simply disinformation,” Honey said, according to four people on the call who were granted anonymity to discuss it. “There will be no ICE presence at polling locations.”
Honey’s words, and her background as a denier of the 2020 election, did not eliminate fears from Democrats, who have been battling with the Trump administration over election issues, especially the Justice Department’s requests for private voter rolls.
“I can’t depend on an election denier like that for the truth under any circumstances,” said Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat who was on the call. “So, they need to get better spokespeople who actually have some integrity.”
The sparring over ICE officers at polling places reflects Democratic fears that the federal government will insert itself into the midterms and as Trump himself has said his administration “ought to nationalize the voting.”
Administration officials from four departments — the Election Assistance Commission, Department of Homeland Security, Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation — were on the call, which was organized for a routine discussion of federal assistance ahead of November.
Fontes said little substance was shared on the call outside of the commitment to not having ICE at polling places.
“I really don’t know exactly what the purpose of this call was other than window dressing,” he said.
Another person on the call said it was the latest example of “conflicting messages” coming from the Trump administration on election issues.
“They want both to intimidate and control the states and to try to demonstrate business as usual, so they’re sending very conflicting messages to all of us about what they want their role to be in 2026,” the person said.
“It felt like kind of a cover your butt kind of call, so they have now checked the box that they have met with election officials from across the country,” a third person on the call said.
