The Oscars 2026 nominations have officially been announced, and this year Sinners is leading the charge with a whopping 16 nominations. Ryan Coogler's horror flick isn't just the most-nominated movie this year, either – it's broken the record for the most-nominated film at the Academy Awards of all time. Not bad going.

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.
