Oscars 2026 : History in the Making
The 98th Academy Awards Nominations are Here!
Oscars 2026 : The wait is finally over! The nominations for the 98th Academy Awards have been announced, and let’s just say, history didn’t just happen—it was rewritten. If you’re a movie lover, today is basically our Super Bowl.
This year, one name is on everyone’s lips: Ryan Coogler. His latest masterpiece, Sinners, has done the unthinkable by grabbing a record-breaking 16 nominations. That’s more than legendary films like Titanic and La La Land!
Oscars 2026 The Big Winner: Sinners Leads the Pack
Sinners isn’t just a movie; it’s a cultural moment. Starring Michael B. Jordan, the film dominated almost every major category. From Best Picture to Best Director, the Academy showed huge love for this supernatural thriller.
Top Categories at a Glance
The competition this year is fierce. Here are some of the heavy hitters looking to take home the gold on March 15:
- Best Picture Contenders: Sinners, One Battle After Another, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, and Frankenstein.
- Best Actor: A massive showdown between Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme), Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), and Michael B. Jordan (Sinners).
- Best Actress: Powerhouse performances from Emma Stone (Bugonia), Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), and Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue).
Fresh Faces and Big Milestones
It’s not just about the veterans. Timothée Chalamet made history today as the youngest actor since Marlon Brando to receive three Best Actor nominations by age 30. We also saw Wagner Moura become the first Brazilian actor ever nominated for Best Actor for his role in The Secret Agent.
The Academy also introduced a brand-new category this year: Best Casting. It’s wonderful to see the people who find the perfect faces for our favorite stories finally getting their moment in the sun.
