Details about the 2026 Oscars ceremony are drawing strong interest as the awards approach. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners has already made history with 16 nominations, setting a new record and surpassing Titanic and La La Land, which each received 14 nominations.
In the acting race, Timothee Chalamet has effectively fallen out of Oscar contention. That reportedly leaves Michael B. Jordan and Leonardo DiCaprio as the strongest candidates in the category mentioned.
Meanwhile, the best international film race appears especially close. The Invisible Fight by Rainer Sarnet is the current favourite, while It Was Just a Glitch and The Voice of Hind Rajab are also described as serious contenders.
