    Your 2026 Oscar nominations are here, presented in the wee hours on Thursday morning by Oscar-nominated actress Danielle Brooks and Thunderbolts* star Lewis Pullman at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.

    Ryan Coogler‘s Sinners continued its stellar awards-season run, topping all films with an astonishing 16 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan, Best Supporting Actress for Wunmi Mosaku, Best Original Screenplay for Coogler, and Best Cinematography for Autumn Durald Arkapaw.

    As expected, writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another (Warner Bros.) had another victorious performance this morning, landing 13 nominations, including for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio, Best Supporting Actress for Teyana Taylor, and Best Supporting Actor for both Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn.

    Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value(Neon) also fared extremely well, nabbing nine noms, including for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress in a Leading Role for Renate Reinsve, Actor in a Supporting Role for Stellan Skarsgård, and Supporting Actress for both Elle Fanning and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas.

    This year’s Oscars will also be the first to include (at long last!) casting directors, and in the inaugural nominees in this category are Francine Maisler for Sinners, Gabriel Domingues for The Secret Agent, Cassandra Kulukundis for One Battle After Another, Jennifer Venditti for Marty Supremeand Nina Gold forHamnet.

    And in another bit of interesting history, Focus Features became the first studio in the modern era to land three Best Actress noms in a single year, for Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), Emma Stone (Bugonia), and Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue).

    Check out the full list of nominees below. This year’s Oscars will be hosted by Conan O’Brien for the second year in a row, and will air live on ABC and Hulu from the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 15, beginning at 4 p.m. PT.
