The Oscar nominations 2026 are finally here—and after months of speculation and predictions and chatter, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners has emerged as the belle of the ball. His auteur-driven vampire flick just got a staggering 16 Oscar nominations, breaking the record for most nods ever received by a single film. (That title previously belonged to a trio of films that each got 14 noominations: All About Eve, Titanic, and La La Land.)
Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, the film previously believed to be this year’s best picture frontrunner, is nipping at Sinners’s heels with 12 nominations of its own. Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value, a sentimental favorite from Norway, nabbed nine, while Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme—home of likely best actor winner Timothée Chalamet—got eight nods.
The nominees in all 24 Academy Award categories—including the brand-new best casting category—were revealed Thursday by actors Danielle Brooks (who was nominated for an Oscar herself in 2024) and Lewis Pullman at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills via livestream. Beyond Sentimental Value, several other non-English-language films also had a big morning; that film and Brazil’s The Secret Agent were nominated in the main best picture category as well as for best international feature, while Trier nabbed a best director nomination as well. The Secret Agent star Wagner Moura also made it into the best actor category, following his triumph at the Golden Globes.
Look below to see a full list of every Oscar nominee. The 98th Academy Awards, hosted once again by talk show host turned podcast mogul Conan O’Brien, air March 15 on ABC—a broadcast home that the ceremony will leave for good in 2029, when the Oscars will begin streaming on YouTube instead.
