Who got the most nods? The complete list of 2026 Oscar nominations

At a ceremony held in Beverly Hills, California, the 98th Annual Academy Awards nominees made history.

It was a moment of vindication for Sinners, the vampire thriller and racial allegory from United States writer-director Ryan Coogler. Sinners was not included in the typical late-autumn lineup of Oscar hopefuls because it was released in April 2025.

But it did succeed in receiving 16 Academy Award nominations on Thursday, breaking the previous high-water mark of 14 nods for movies like Titanic, All About Eve, and La La Land, surpassing the previous high-water mark of 14 nods.

Another audience favorite and critical darling, One Battle After the other, a chase movie with political themes that was tailored to the moment, followed suit.

One Battle After the other walked away with a cool 13 nominations, including in three of the four acting categories. However, its breakout star Chase Infiniti, who played Leonardo DiCaprio’s stooped daughter, was overlooked in the Best Actress category.

However, her name was not the only one left out of the fierce competition for the top female acting award. The category’s 2013 winner, Jennifer Lawrence, was passed over for her much-lauded work in the drama Die My Love, as was Amanda Seyfried, who was a contender for the historical musical The Testament of Ann Lee.

However, Kate Hudson received a Best Actress nomination for her, which was a surprise given that she had previously received a nomination for Almost Famous, a musical drama from 2001. She was recognized for her role in Song Sung Blue, a musically charged movie starring one of Neil Diamond’s cover bands, this time.

The competition was no less fierce in the male acting categories, with notable snubs including Paul Mescal, who played William Shakespeare in the historical heartwrencher Hamnet.

Due to mixed reviews, the musical Wicked: For Good, which is the sequel to the 10-time Oscar nominee from last year, was also completely cancelled this year.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which holds the Oscars annually, accepted some performances but some were overlooked. And nowhere was that more apparent than with the accolades showered on Sinners.

Wunmi Mosaku and Delroy Lindo, both of whom were overlooked at the Golden Globes, received acting nods along with Michael B. Jordan, their Sinners co-star. View the nominees’ full names in the table below.
