The 98th Academy Awards promise to be one of the most competitive and compelling editions in recent years. The ceremony will take place on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at the prestigious Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and will be broadcast live in the United States on ABC and streamed globally in more than 200 countries.
Venue, Stage and Ceremony Highlights
The iconic Dolby Theatre once again hosts the film industry’s most important night, with Conan O’Brien confirmed for the second consecutive year as host.
For the first time in Oscar history, a new category — Best Casting — has been introduced, bringing the total number of competitive categories to 24.
The celebration of cinema extends beyond the main ceremony, with the Scientific and Technical Awards scheduled for April 28, 2026, at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
Nominations: Records and Expectations
The nominations were announced on January 22, 2026, at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. Leading the race is Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, which made history with 16 nominations, the highest number ever achieved by a single film in Academy Awards history. Close behind is One Battle After Another by Paul Thomas Anderson with 14 nominations. Other highly anticipated titles include Marty Supreme, Hamnet, and Frankenstein.
Among the standout acting nominees are Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme), Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), and Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon). On the actresses’ side, Jessie Buckley (Hamnet) and Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You) are among the strongest contenders.
Predictions and Award Season Momentum
The awards season has already offered signals about potential winners. The Producer Guild Awards crowned One Battle After Another, suggesting it could carry momentum into Oscar night.
Meanwhile, the SAG Awards delivered surprises, with Michael B. Jordan recognized for his performance in Sinners, outperforming several expected frontrunners.
The race for Best Picture remains wide open, making this year’s ceremony particularly unpredictable — and exciting.
