The 98th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 15, at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and will be televised live on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide (the show moves to YouTube in 2029, beginning with the 101st Oscars).
Twenty-four categories will be awarded at the 98th Oscars, and each category has five nominees, except for Best Picture, which has 10. Best Picture nominations are determined by eligible members from all 19 Academy branches, and all rounds of Oscars voting are conducted by secret online ballot.
This morning, the 2026 Oscar nominees have been revealed. There aren't too many surprises, and not a single superhero has made the cut (even in the technical categories). DC Studios and Marvel Studios mounted ambitious FYC campaigns for movies like Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which, unfortunately, didn't pay off.
While the Oscars are undeniably prestigious, they do little to recognise commercial films and attempts to bring them into the show have typically gone poorly. One or two break through now and again, of course, and this year, Sinners is arguably the big winner in that respect.
Black Panther director Ryan Coogler's vampire movie has received 16 nominations, the most ever, beating the record set by All About Eve and La La Land.
