The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences officially announced the nominations for the 98th Academy Awards on Thursday morning, with Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks and actor Lewis Pullman unveiling the contenders live from the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
This year’s Oscar nominations were announced in two waves beginning at 5:30 a.m. PT, with ballots submitted by Academy members across 88 countries. Twenty-four categories will be awarded, with Best Picture featuring 10 nominees. Final voting opens February 26 and closes March 5, 2026.
The nomination field is led decisively by Sinners, which tops this year’s Oscars with a record-setting 16 nominations, cementing its status as the dominant contender heading into the final round of voting. Close behind is One Battle After Another with 13 nominations, giving Warner Bros. a commanding presence across the board.
The next tier reflects the continued strength of prestige distributors and streamers. Frankenstein from Netflix, Marty Supreme from A24, and Sentimental Value from Neon each earned nine nominations, while Hamnet followed closely with eight nominations for Focus Features.
Collectively, the Oscar results underscore a competitive year dominated by Warner Bros., strong showings from Netflix and A24, and Neon’s continued momentum as a serious awards-season player.
