Shane McMahon congratulates wife Marissa on Oscar nomination
Shane McMahon couldn’t be more proud of his wife Marissa for achieving a lifelong dream.
Last week, Marissa McMahon earned her first-ever Oscar nomination for “Train Dreams” — a film that she served as a producer of. The movie received four nominations in total, including one for Best Picture. When a movie is nominated in that category, producers of the film are listed as the nominees. Marissa McMahon, Teddy Schwarzman, Will Janowitz, Ashley Schlaifer, and Michael Heimler are the nominees for “Train Dreams.”
“Congratulations Marissa Mac on a dream come true. You are in rare air with your movie Train Dreams receiving 4 Academy Award Nominations. This movie would not have been made without you,” Shane wrote on Instagram last night. “You are an inspiration to me and our three sons. Declan, Kenyon Rogan and I could not be happier for or more proud of you. So well deserved Let’s Go!”
Shane and Marissa (Marissa Mazzola) have been married since 1996 with three children that were born in 2004, 2006, and 2010. Marissa is the founder of production company Kamala Films, which produced “Train Dreams” alongside Black Bear productions.
“The 12 year old girl who dreamed this dream is humbled and grateful for this nomination,” Marissa reacted when the nominees were announced. “My heart is so full. Thank you @theacademy for this incredible honor.”
“Train Dreams” stars Joel Edgerton and was released on Netflix in November 2025. Here is the official synopsis:
Based on Denis Johnson’s beloved novella, Train Dreams is the moving portrait of Robert Grainier, a logger and railroad worker who leads a life of unexpected depth and beauty in the rapidly-changing America of the early 20th Century.
The 2026 Academy Awards ceremony is taking place on Sunday, March 15 and will be broadcast on ABC.
