The Oscars 2026 nominations have officially been announced, and this year Sinners is leading the charge with a whopping 16 nominations.

Other movies making waves include One Battle After Another, with 13 nominations, Frankenstein and Sentimental Value with nine nods apiece, and Hamnet with eight. 2026 is also the first year that the Oscars will be awarding for Best Casting, which is the first time the Academy has introduced a new category in over two decades.

Ahead of this year's ceremony, get up to speed with the Oscars 2026 nominations list in full right here, from Best Picture to acting, craft, and short film categories.
