Academy Awards 2026: Here Are the Nominees

Awards season enters its decisive phase with the announcement of the Oscar 2026 nominees. Films that moved audiences, breakthrough performances, and bold bets that divided critics are competing for a place at the most anticipated ceremony of the year. Big names, new voices, and much-talked-about productions are gearing up to compete in an edition that promises debate, excitement, and memorable moments.

The announcement arrives with a fairly clear outlook: several of the nominated titles already gained momentum after their runs at the Critics Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, where they established themselves as favorites among critics and the industry. There seem to be a few marked cards with titles like Hamnet, Sinners, or Sentimental Value, but while some films arrive as clear frontrunners, others slip in unexpectedly and could deliver a major upset.

Below is the complete list of nominees so you can make your own picks—on your own or with friends—and start getting ready for the spectacular gala on March 15.
