This section will be updated as information becomes available
It isn't yet clear whether Allen will attend the Oscars with Steinfeld, or if Steinfeld will attend the Oscars at all. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the main cast of "Sinners" in attendance with the film nominated for so many awards, but Steinfeld appears to be getting closer to her due date.
Allen kept his relationship with Steinfeld quiet early on, but those days are long behind him. The two have since walked red carpets together, gotten married and announced a pregnancy, so it would be surprising if Steinfeld attended the Oscars without her NFL husband.
Why is Josh Allen at the Oscars?
If Allen shows up at the Oscars, it won't be because he's nominated for anything. His wife, Hailee Steinfeld, starred in "Sinners," which is nominated for a record 16 awards, including best picture.
Just as Steinfeld has walked the red carpet with Allen at the NFL Honors ceremony, Allen will gladly support his wife on what could be one of the biggest nights of her career.

Is Hailee Steinfeld nominated for an Oscar?
Steinfeld isn't nominated for an individual Academy Award, but "Sinners" is well represented at the Oscars with a record 16 nominations. For a major award such as best picture, it's common practice for the film's main cast to come up on stage and accept it together.
Steinfeld's co-star, Michael B. Jordan, is considered a frontrunner for best actor, while "Sinners" is believed to be squarely in the mix for best picture.
Steinfeld was nominated for an Oscar in 2011, when she received consideration for best supporting actress at only 14 years old.
