Hudson Williams to attend the 2026 Oscars while Connor Storrie will not be present

Hudson Williams’ presence at the 2026 Oscars confirms his growing international profile, while Connor Storrie will miss the ceremony due to professional commitments.

Hudson Williams is preparing for one of the most visible moments of his career. The ‘Heated Rivalry’ actor has been confirmed among the guests attending the 2026 Oscars, one of the most anticipated events in the global film calendar. However, his co-star Connor Storrie is not expected to be among those attending the ceremony.

Williams’ appearance at the Academy Awards has generated considerable excitement among fans of the series, which has become one of the most recent streaming phenomena. At just 25 years old, the actor continues to strengthen his international presence, and his appearance on the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles is expected to be one of the evening’s most talked-about moments.

According to several industry sources, Connor Storrie, Williams’ co-star in ‘Heated Rivalry’, will be unable to attend the ceremony due to professional commitments related to upcoming projects. The actor is currently preparing to film ‘Peaked’, a new comedy produced by A24 that will soon begin shooting in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, Hudson Williams continues working on the series ‘Yaga’, a production from Crave that is currently filming in Vancouver, Canada. The project features a notable cast including Carrie-Anne Moss, Noah Reid and other figures from the international television landscape.

Another member of the ‘Heated Rivalry’ cast, actor Robbie G.K., will also take part in one of the most prominent events surrounding the ceremony. According to reports, he is among the guests invited to the exclusive Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars Viewing Party, one of the most recognised celebrations organised around the Academy Awards.

The schedules of Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie will cross again later this year. Both actors are expected to reunite to begin filming the second season of ‘Heated Rivalry’, a highly anticipated continuation that promises to expand the story and the project’s growing international impact.
