Nominations for the 2026 Academy Awards have landed. Actors Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman announced them during an event on Thursday, January 22. Explore a full list of nominees below.
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners picked up a record 16 nominations, including one for Best Picture, where it comeptes alongside Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, Bugonia, Sentimental Value, and Hamnet, among others. Each of them picked up a strong haul of overall nods (though, perplexingly, Daniel Lopatin’s excellent Marty Supreme score went unrecognized). Conan O’Brien is hosting the ceremony, which takes place on March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
At last year’s ceremony, Sean Baker’s film Anora led the pack with five wins: Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Picture. Daniel Blumberg took home a Best Original Score statuette for his work on Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist. Best Original Song went to“El Mal,” from Jacques Audiard’s cartel musical Emilia Perez.
