Did dimples just dominate the Oscars?

In this episode of The Dimple Report, host Graceful Grady breaks down a surprising and fun observation from Hollywood’s biggest night — 3 of the 4 major acting categories were won by stars with dimples.

Coincidence… or something more?

We kick things off with Dimple Spotlight, highlighting standout Oscar-winning performances from:

• Sean Penn in One Battle After Another (cleft chin)
• Jessie Buckley in Hamnet (cleft chin)
• Michael B. Jordan in Sinners (cheek dimples)

Then in Dimple Trivia, test your Oscar knowledge with fun multiple-choice questions tied to these performances.

In The Dimple Drop, we take it back to the very first Academy Awards and reveal a hidden connection — even the first Best Actor and Best Actress winners had cleft chin dimples.

Next, in Film & TV Dimplified, we recommend the must-watch series Scarpetta, starring two Oscar winners:

• Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All at Once) — cleft chin
• Nicole Kidman (The Hours) — featuring the elegant Dimples of Venus (back dimples)

And in Fantasy Dimpled Draftees, we stay on theme by spotlighting Oscar Tshiebwe of the Utah Jazz, predicting his next season will be the best of his career.

From Hollywood to sports, this episode proves one thing:

Dimples aren’t just a feature… they’re a presence.

🎧 Tune in, have some fun, and don’t forget to celebrate National Dimples Day on July 9th.
