The nominations for the Academy Awards 2026 have been officially announced, setting the stage for one of the most anticipated award ceremonies of the year.
The nominees were revealed on Thursday, January 22. The film Sinners dominated the list with 16 nominations, the highest number ever received by a single movie in Oscars history.
Several fan predictions also came true this year. Timothée Chalamet, Jessie Buckley, and Jacob Elordi all earned nominations following widely praised performances.
The 98th Academy Awards ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 15. Comedian and late-night host Conan O’Brien will return as host for the evening.
The full list of nominees is detailed below.
I will organize the provided data into separate tables for each award category.
