What to know about the 2026 Oscars

  • "Sinners" is looking to make history, coming into the night with 16 nominations. It's the most nominations for a single film ever, with the Ryan Coogler-helmed vampire spectacle earning nods for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and a nomination for the newly created Best Casting award.
  • "One Battle After Another" earned the second most nominations, 13, and is going up against "Sinners" in big categories like Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Director. 
  • Best Casting is the first new category in a quarter century, after the Academy added Best Animated Feature to the ceremony in 2001.
  • Former late-night TV staple Conan O'Brien returns to host the show for a second year in a row. Matt Berry of "The IT Crowd" and "What We Do in the Shadows" fame will handle announcing duties.
