Oscar Nominations 2026: Complete List (Updating Live)

Jan 22, 2026 - 13:30

The wait is over. On Thursday at 5:30 a.m. PT/8:30 a.m. ET, the Academy will reveal the nominees for the 2026 Oscars. Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman will read the names of the people recognized for the 98th Academy Awards, which take place Sunday, March 15, 2026.

The nomination announcement is available to watch on Oscar.com, Oscar.org, the Academy’s social platforms, GMA, ABC News Live, Disney+ and Hulu.

As Steve Pond pointed out in his final prediction column, it is all but certain to be a big morning for Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” and Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners.” Both are likely to earn nominations in the double digits, and Coogler’s drama could even set a new record for 15 nominations, beating the 14 set by “All About Eve” and tied by “Titanic” and “La La Land.” The new Best Casting category could help these high-profile films hit the magic, history-making number.

“Hamnet” and “Frankenstein” are also expected to rack up double-digit nominations. In addition to nominations for picture, director, adapted screenplay, actor and supporting actor, “Hamnet” might also extend Steven Spielberg’s lead as the most nominated producer of Best Picture nominees. He currently sits comfortably at 13, followed by Scott Rudin with nine.

Expect to hear “Sentimental Value” several times — for best picture, best director, original screenplay, international feature, lead actress (Renate Reinsve), supporting actor (Stellan Skarsgård) and supporting actress (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas and possibly Elle Fanning). Joachim Trier’s film is one of five strong contenders in the international feature category, all of which are released by Neon. The others are “It Was Just an Accident,” “Sirât,” “No Other Choice” and “The Secret Agent.”

That film’s star, Wagner Moura, is likely to make the history books as the first Brazilian nominated for Best Actor, while writer-director Kleber Mendonça Filho is on track to become the first Brazilian to break into the original screenplay category.

More than 10,000 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences were eligible to cast ballots in the nominating round, with voting taking place between Jan. 12-16. All members are able to vote for Best Picture, with the other categories largely in the hands of the members of each branch.

The complete list of nominees is below. We’ll be updating this list live, so be sure to stick around.
