Rose Byrne Oscar Nomination 2026: Bobby Cannavale Celebrates After Viral Bearded Dragon Mishap
Bobby Cannavale celebrates Rose Byrne's first Oscar nomination for 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You' after the viral story of him missing her Golden Globe win for a lizard.
He missed her Golden Globe win for a lizard, but he's not missing this milestone. Bobby Cannavale took to social media to celebrate his partner Rose Byrne, who received her first Oscar nomination on January 22, 2026. Byrne was recognized in the Best Actress category for her raw performance in 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You'.
Rose Byrne Oscar Nomination and the Bearded Dragon Legend
The celebration comes with a side of internet-famous humor. Earlier this month, on January 11, many were baffled when Cannavale was absent during Byrne's Golden Globe victory. In a tearful and hilarious speech, Byrne explained that he was at a reptile expo in New Jersey to buy a bearded dragon for their children. "I'm on board for the dragon," she told Jimmy Fallon previously, joking that missing it would be a "parent fail."
Cannavale's Instagram post featured an ebullient FaceTime call with Byrne. "Academy Award Nominee... Best Mama, Friend, Human," he wrote, though he couldn't resist pointing out a Google Home notification in the screenshot about a neighbor walking past their house. The couple has been together since 2012 and are frequently cited as one of the most grounded pairs in Hollywood.
Hollywood Reacts to the News
Industry heavyweights were quick to weigh in. Naomi Watts jokingly asked, "Are you bringing the bearded dragon?" while Amanda Seyfried and Joe Pantoliano added their congratulations. Byrne, currently in Sydney, described the moment as "surreal," noting that she felt like the "naughty kid who snuck in the back of the bus" among such a prestigious category of actresses.
