Hollywood’s biggest night is fast approaching — but there’s still plenty of time to watch the 2026 Oscar-nominated films.
The nominees were announced on Jan. 22, narrowing a crowded field of 201 films vying for Best Picture to just 10 finalists. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners and Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another were among those that made the cut.
Sinners led the nominations with 16 total nods, setting a new record for the most nominations ever earned by a single film. The previous record was held by Titanic (1997), La La Land (2016) and All About Eve (1950), which each received 14 nominations. One Battle After Another followed closely behind Sinners with 13 nominations.
Still, the announcement wasn’t without surprises and disappointments. Wicked: For Good, Avatar: Fire and Ash and It Was Just an Accident were among the biggest films to be snubbed.
Conan O’Brien is returning to host the Academy Awards live on March 15 at 7 p.m. ET, which airs on ABC and streams on Hulu.
Until then, here’s where to watch and stream all the 2026 Oscar-nominated films.
