The 98th Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, March 15, live from Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. Comedian Conan O’ Brien has been invited back to host this year’s Oscars.
Standout nominations this year include “Sinners,” a musical horror film. This film earned 16 nominations, breaking previous record holders “All about Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land.”
Following “Sinners” is Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” that earned 13 nominations.
Wagner Moura is the first-ever Brazilian actor to be nominated for “Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role” for “The Secret Agent.”
The biggest snubs of 2026? “Wicked: For Good” and “Avatar: Fire and Ash” were not nominated for any of the main awards. “Wicked: For Good” received zero nominations in any category, while “Avatar: Fire and Ash” was nominated for Best Costume Design and Best Visual Effects.
