The 2026 Oscar Nominations

The 2026 Oscar nominations have just been announced this morning at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater by hosts Danielle Brooks (“The Color Purple”) and Lewis Pullman (“Thunderbolts”).

“Sinners” led the pack with sixteen nominations – an all-time record for nominations for a single film. That was followed by “One Battle After Another” with thirteen, followed by “Marty Supreme,” “Sentimental Value” and “Frankenstein” with nine; “Hamnet” with eight; and “Bugonia,” “F1,” “Train Dreams” and “The Secret Agent” snagged four each.

Welcome surprises included Delroy Lindo for “Sinners,” “F1” for a best film nomination, and big category noms for “The Secret Agent” and “Frankenstein”. On the snubs front, “Wicked: For Good” was completely shut out while Guillermo del Toro missed out on a director nomination.

This year’s Best Picture list includes at least four films that have earned over $100 million each at the box-office globally. Here is the full list of nominees for this year’s Academy Awards:
