Oscar nominations 2026: What to expect and how to watch
The Oscar nominations will be announced later, with Leonardo DiCaprio's politically-charged thriller One Battle After Another expected to lead the field.

Irish actors Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, meanwhile, are expected to be recognised for their roles in the screen adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's novel Hamnet.
Marty Supreme, Frankenstein, Sentimental Value, Bugonia and The Secret Agent are also predicted to feature heavily when the nominees are announced from 13:30 GMT.
US comedian Conan O'Brien will return to host this year's Academy Awards ceremony, which takes place on 15 March.
Oscar Nominations 2026 (Updating Live)
The countdown to the 98th Academy Awards has begun, and Lewis Pullman and Danielle Brooks are announcing the 2026 Oscar nominations Thursday morning.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” is expected to be the major frontrunner after it won four Golden Globes earlier this month. It took home best motion picture – drama, supporting actress for Teyana Taylor, and Anderson won best director and screenplay. Taylor and her co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Chase Infiniti, Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro are also in the mix for Oscar recognition, in addition to many of the film’s artisans.
Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners,” a vampire drama set in the 1930s South, is also predicted to be a major Oscar player. It’s expected to land Oscar noms for stars Michael B. Jordan and Wunmi Mosaku, Coogler’s original screenplay and several below-the-line categories. According to Variety’s awards editor Clayton Davis, “Sinners” could land as many as 15 nods, which would break the all-time record for Oscar nominations currently held by “All About Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land.”

The holidays are over, but the Christmas Adventurers no doubt are still celebrating. The “Marty Supreme” blimp rests, for now, in its hangar. Chloé Zhao is clearing her mind. And I still have that Neil Diamond song stuck in my head.
All of which brings us to the unveiling of nominations for the 98th Oscars on Thursday. Might Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” or Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” tie or even break the record for most nods for a single movie? Fourteen is the magic number, held by “All About Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land.” Somewhere, James Cameron is clutching his crown tightly.
