As the company Auxolith reigns over the movie-world of Bugonia, we imagine an evilly good mix of Honey and Blood Orange in an Americano is just what Emma Stone‘s CEO character would desire. Bugonia throws us straight into the middle of the kidnapping of Auxolith CEO Michelle Fuller. Two men (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) then lock her in their basement out of fear she is an alien who wants to destroy Earth. After endless catastrophes such as a backfiring experimental drug treatment for opioid withdrawal, the power that Auxolith and Fuller as CEO holds is frightening with an angle cast on those who put greed first. To create a sip that’s as deliciously deceptive, we’re taking utterly sweet honey and testing its power with the addition of blood orange, sweet vermouth, Campari, and also bubbly soda water. It’s a cocktail for the true winner here… you!
What Oscar Academy Award Nominations Did Bugonia Receive?
Bugonia from start to finish is a wild ride and you never quite know what will come next. Touching on themes of today’s landscape like climate change, monopolization, capitalism, and even conspiracy theory as a whole, it’s also a film that feels like it could easily happen in real life. Between its intense but darkly comedic adaptation by Yorgos Lanthimos as well as the cast and crew that bring this tale to life, Bugonia receives four nominations for the 2026 Oscars ceremony. These include Actress in a Leading Role (Emma Stone), Music Original Score (Jerskin Fendrix), Writing Adapted Screenplay (Will Tracy), and Best Picture for producers Ed Guiney & Andrew Lowe, Yorgos Lanthimos, Emma Stone and Lars Knudsen.
