Cinema's most anticipated morning of the year arrived with a bang. The 98th Academy Award nominations landed — and they say a lot about where the film industry is right now: boundary-breaking genre fare rubbing shoulders with intimate dramas, and a historically diverse slate that refuses to stay in any margins. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners set an all-time record with 16 nominations (yes, surpassing Titanic and La La Land), dominating not just the major categories but the conversation itself.
Hot on its heels is Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another with 13 nods, powering through Best Picture, Director, and acting categories alike. Meanwhile, stalwarts like Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet, and the international darling Sentimental Value round out a Best Picture field that’s as rich in scope as it is in global perspective. From breakthrough performances to surprising omissions (sorry, Wicked) — and the Oscars’ first Best Casting category — this year’s lineup delivers drama before the ceremony even begins.
Below, the complete list of 2026 Oscar nominations — and how to watch the Best Picture nominees before the award show on March 15.
