Oscar nominations 2026: Sinners, One Battle After Another lead the pack; Homebound snubbed
The race to Hollywood’s biggest night is officially on. The nominations for the 98th Academy Awards were announced this evening by Lewis Pullman and Danielle Brooks, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting end to the awards season. The nominations were announced by The Colour Purple’s Danielle Brooks, a former nominee herself, and Thunderbolts and Top Gun: Maverick star Lewis Pullman
As expected, some of the year’s most acclaimed titles dominated the list. Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another emerged as the frontrunner after its sweeping success at the Golden Globes earlier this month. Timothee Chalamet’s Marty Supreme and Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, were also strong contenders. And while most nominations followed predictions, unfortunately, Neeraj Ghaywan’s Homebound couldn’t make its mark on international audiences with zero nominations under its belt.
The 2026 Oscars will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 15. The ceremony will air at 7 p.m. ET on ABC. Take a look at the full list of nominations.
