Oscars 2026 Winners: SINNERS Star Michael B. Jordan Wins Big As Timothée Chalamet Is Snubbed

Oscars 2026 Winners: SINNERS Star Michael B. Jordan Wins Big As Timothée Chalamet Is Snubbed

Following last night's 98th Academy Awards, we have a full list of winners from the annual awards show in what proved to be a great night for Sinners and Michael B. Jordan.

The 98th Academy Awards took place yesterday evening, and while One Battle After Another walked away with "Best Picture" and "Best Director" for Paul Thomas Anderson, it was a big night for Sinners, too.

Filmmaker Ryan Coogler won for "Best Original Screenplay," while Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan is now officially a "Best Actor" Oscar-winner.

In terms of snubs, it was an embarrassing evening for Dune star Timothée Chalamet, who, after recently coming under fire for his comments about opera and ballet—and after previously telling people not to take his work for granted—walked away empty-handed.

His latest movie, Marty Supreme, received nine nominations and won nothing. The same happened last year, when A Complete Unknown received eight nods and left empty-handed. 

Avatar: Fire and Ash won for "Best Visual Effects," while KPop Demon Hunters was named "Best Animated Feature." F1 won for "Best Sound," which is a good opportunity for us to remind you to check out FullThrottleHQ.com for all the latest Formula 1 updates.

Check out a full list of winners below.

I haven't seen any of these, but I plan on watching a couple of them if they make it to one of the streaming channels I subscribe to.

One Battle After Another was solid, but it would've been much better if it had cut the first 45 minutes and the last 15. Not impressed by most nominations either though.
Cap1
Cap1 - 3/16/2026, 5:44 AM
@bkmeijer1 - you wanna cut my pussy don't pop for you? Lockjaw's boner? But nah being real the first 45 is vital to the whole thing, the entire moral thought and dilemma in what remains is in there. Perfidia hovers over the rest of it like a phantom because of the first 45, and that's so key to this thing rocking
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 3/16/2026, 12:09 PM
@Cap1 - guess we look at it differently. I kept clocking out during the first section, but when it finally switched protagonists I was kept on the edge of my seat

At least Sinners got some good ones. Coogler's first wholly original story won Best Original Screenplay, Ludwig won Best Score, and Jordan won best Actor.

TheVisionary25 - 3/16/2026, 7:18 AM
@asherman93 - Best Cinematography too
TheNewYorkerr
TheNewYorkerr - 3/16/2026, 7:24 AM
@asherman93 - They won the same award category's they’ve won all award season. The ones we all knew they would. Except best actor.

Good for Michael B. Jordan. The dude has been putting in good performances since his days on The Wire.

@ModHaterSLADE - Very likable guy, with a lot of good performances. But does he have any great ones?

@ModHaterSLADE - what happen to Wallace, String??!
Baf
Baf - 3/16/2026, 10:01 AM
@TheNewYorkerr - I heard he had to learn to relax his facial muscles to hide his dimple when he played Smoke. He didn't hide it while playing Stack. this is why some felt they were actually two different actors. That alone is pretty impressive.
ModHaterSLADE
ModHaterSLADE - 3/16/2026, 1:46 PM
@TheNewYorkerr - Yes, If you ever watched Fruitvale Station and Friday Night Lights or even Black Panther...

MBJ is the least excellent of his fellow nominees but he's still excellent, so I'm more than happy with him winning. An off year in the sense all noms were deserving. Happy with OBAA's wins too, especially PTA's. Been long overdue for one of the very best. Also, [frick] yes Javier Bardem. What courage. King

tmp3 - 3/16/2026, 6:25 AM
@Cap1 - insane that it took this long for PTA to win. Maybe the best working rn
Cap1
Cap1 - 3/16/2026, 8:16 AM
@tmp3 - He's been 'maybe the best working' since Boogie Nights released lol, wild it took this long. But at least it's not a Leo repeat where it's an apology award, OBAA is more than deserving and so is he. From 0 to 3 in a night, that's right!!!!!!
RedFury

Pretty cool that the best actor award goes to an actor in a Vampire Film. Bravo to MBJ!
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 3/16/2026, 6:54 AM
@RedFury - that is cool

Its always nice to see genre stuff be acknowledged outside of the technical categories
RedFury
RedFury - 3/16/2026, 11:18 AM
@TheVisionary25 - it gives me hope that these "academies" are being more open minded about what they consider to be art these days. And I think it bodes well for genre stuff in general when it's winning Oscars which is wicked for us nerds lol.

@RedFury - cbms were just starting to get recognised in the Best Picture categories (Black Panther, Joker) and then they immediately started to drop in quality the following decade. Hopefully we can see some more Oscar-worthy cbms. I though Eternals & The Batman were gonna be good enough but they weren't quite there. Neither were the sequels to Black Panther and Joker (although Wakanda Forever came close imo).

I guess that incident with the disabled guy and Chalamet talking bad about the arts swung the vote
Cap1
Cap1 - 3/16/2026, 5:58 AM
@HelloBoysImBack - his ballet/opera comment came after voting closed, but I also think SAG and Viola Davis helped MBJ a lot
HelloBoysImBack
HelloBoysImBack - 3/16/2026, 6:16 AM
@Cap1 - chalamet was overwhelming favourite till things influenced
Urubrodi
Urubrodi - 3/16/2026, 7:19 AM
@HelloBoysImBack - ...that and the fact that MBJ was simply way better
HelloBoysImBack
HelloBoysImBack - 3/16/2026, 7:39 AM
@Urubrodi - better or worse is an opinion but the opinion was Chamalet was favourite to take it before bafta
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 3/16/2026, 6:41 PM
@Cap1 - Apparently it actually went viral with the Academy just before voting closed. They all saw that shit. Plus there were his comments about how good his Marty Supreme performance was. His lack of humility or modesty really turned some people off.
Urubrodi
Urubrodi - 3/17/2026, 10:03 AM
@HelloBoysImBack - I mean might have been a factor, but it just bothers me that we are lessening MBJ's win by talking about this what if scenario, Chalamet wasn't on the running by himself
tmp3
tmp3 - 3/16/2026, 6:25 AM
Surprised Chalamet didn’t pan out, thought he was just incredible in Marty Supreme. That said, MBJ is a really cool win. Loved Sinners and OBAA was my favorite movie of last year; really happy Penn won, dude went beast mode as Lockjaw

Nice!

Loved sinners
FinnishDude
FinnishDude - 3/16/2026, 6:54 AM
Not sure his performance in Sinners, while very good, was outright Oscar worthy, but he definitively deserves to have an Oscar and especially over Chalamet.
SuperClark
SuperClark - 3/16/2026, 7:04 AM
@FinnishDude - It’s less about his performance in sinners and more about his filmography and acting credits overall. This Oscar is well deserved for all his valiant efforts and contribution to film.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 3/16/2026, 7:08 AM
Lolz, it's DEI glorification once again in the Oscars, as usual.

Sinners was decent but not within the levels of the classic winners. Aside from that, ive only seen OBAA and that is a better movie both in front and behind the camera.

And Ne Zha 2 snubbed for at least a nomination says much about this clownshow.
bobevanz
bobevanz - 3/16/2026, 9:12 AM
@vectorsigma - So, even you don't watch the good movies and just shit post, got it lol
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 3/16/2026, 10:15 AM
@bobevanz - i just said ive seen sinners and obaa, where's the "you dont watch good movies" in that? Lolz

I enjoyed sinners but it wasnt oscar worthy. Best cinematography and all i remember are the green screened scenes and the dark, lolz. Oh yeah, the winner on it is a DEI hire yet again.

Ive only seen a few from these lot but i can say obaa is better in all aspects over sinners.

The Oscars has lost its credibility for a while now
Kadara
Kadara - 3/16/2026, 11:08 AM
@vectorsigma - In one breath you're slamming Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; the next you're upset that Ne Zha 2 was snubbed? LMAO!! So some diversity is good, but not others Hmm, very interesting.
narrow290
narrow290 - 3/16/2026, 11:49 AM
@vectorsigma - mentioning DEI and the Oscars in the same sentence is hilarious.
chumpchampion
chumpchampion - 3/16/2026, 7:14 PM
@vectorsigma - Hey man, I've supported you when others haven't over the years (especially w your love for Ne Zha 2) but I can't let you bad mouth the VERY deserving Best Cinematography Oscar win for Autumn Durald Arkapaw while calling her a "DEI hire" - that's just straight up not true.

You may not know have known, but Ryan Coogler closely worked with Autumn while filming 2nd unit for Black Panther (even more so than BP's cinematographer Rachel Morrison - who was also nominated for an Oscar that year).

Sinners is also the 1st film to ever be shot in both IMAX & Ultra Panavision 70mm, features the jaw-droppingly powerful, & technically intricate, "Surreal Montage" scene at the juke joint, & is now the winner of Best Cinematography - the 1st time EVER for a female DP - all major accomplishments in cinematography.

You can watch this vid from Coogler to inform yourself on just how complex of a filming process Sinners actually was: ?si=TYNPE4nKhmgnbASK

Also I gotta agree w @Kadara that complaining about Sinners' DEI (when there was none) while being upset about the Ne Zha 2 snub doesn't quite lineup & comes across as a bit tone deaf...
