2026 Oscar nominations in full
Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman announced this year’s Oscar nominees on ‘Good Morning America’
The nominations for the 98th Academy Awards are in, marking the start of the final stretch of Hollywood’s awards season. The shortlist recognizes films released in 2025, with contenders spanning prestige dramas, studio blockbusters and international titles.
Actors Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman revealed the nominations live on Good Morning America and YouTube in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Ryan Coogler’s vampire horror Sinners — starring Michael B. Jordan as twins — leads the pack with 16 nominations, more than any film in Oscars history.
Meanwhile, Paul Thomas Anderson’s caper One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, follows closely behind with 13 nominations. Guillermo del Toro’s take on Frankenstein and Josh Safdie’s ping pong drama, Marty Supreme, both earned nine nominations, while Chloé Zhao’s Shakespeare drama Hamnet picked up eight.
One of the big surprises of the morning was Brad Pitt’s F1 blockbuster, which was among the nominees for Best Picture.
Attention now turns to the Oscars ceremony itself, which takes place on Sunday, 15 March at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Comedian Conan O’Brien is set to return as host for a second consecutive year, following a broadly well-received debut.
This year also introduces a new competitive award, Best Casting, expanding the total number of Oscars presented to 24. The category aims to recognise the creative contribution of casting directors, marking the first new Oscar category added in more than two decades.
