Every Oscar Nominated Movie (2026) — A Streaming Guide
Award season is officially in full-swing and the nominees for the 98th Academy Awards have finally been revealed. The 2026 Oscars will take place on March 15th and will be hosted by Conan O’Brien. This year’s Oscars also made history, with Sinners scoring a whopping 16 nominations, the most of any film in cinema history! Earning virtually every major award, from Best Picture to Best Director, Best Actor, and more, viewers will be eagerly waiting to see just how many wins Sinners can snag.
Following closely behind is One Battle After Another, which earned 13 nominations and also has a nominee in virtually every major category. There are also a few curveballs that have lit the internet ablaze, like Amy Madigan scoring a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her scene-stealing role as Gladys in Weapons.
But who are the other nominees for the 98th annual Oscar awards? Read on to find out, plus discover where all the movies are streaming and/or showing in theaters right now.
Best Picture
For now, it looks like the rivalry for the Best Picture crown is going to be between Sinners and One Battle After Another. For months now, both movies have been seen as frontrunners for the awards, and it seems relatively unlikely that another movie could come in and steal the award. Although major upsets have happened in the past, like Crash winning in 2006 or the infamous Moonlight mix-up in 2017. Here’s a look at this year’s Best Picture nominees:
Best Director
Just like Best Picture, it seems likely that the battle for Best Director is going to be a fierce one between Sinners and One Battle After Another. Both directors are big names, with Ryan Coogler already earning a Best Director nomination in 2021 for Judas and the Black Messiah, and Paul Thomas Anderson earning a lofty 14 Oscar noms throughout his career for films like Boogie Nights (1997) and There Will Be Blood (2007).
Can one of the other nominees dethrone these two Hollywood titans and snag the award? Here’s a look at the Best Director nominees:
Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another
Ryan Coogler, Sinners
Josh Safdie, Marty Supreme
Joachim Trier, Sentimental Value
Chloé Zhao, Hamnet
Best Actress
While the fates of the Best Picture and Best Director awards seem pretty much solidified, the Oscar for Best Actress is totally up for grabs. This year sees a list of standout performances, and at this point, anyone could win. Emma Stone has a good chance of winning for her role in the tense sci-fi thriller Bugonia, where she may or may not be playing a sadistic alien empress.
But she’s got close competition from Rose Byrne, who shocked the world with her stunning performance in the painful drama If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. Byrne even outshone Stone at the Golden Globes and scored the win for her performance. Kate Hudson is also a potential for her role as a Neil Diamond cover artist in the sappy biopic Song Sung Blue. The film received mixed reviews, with many calling it classic Oscar bait, which normally is enough to score a nomination, but rarely gets the win. Here’s the full list of Best Actress noms:
Jessie Buckley, Hamnet
Rose Byrne, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You
Kate Hudson, Song Sung Blue
Renate Reinsve, Sentimental Value
Emma Stone, Bugonia
Best Actor
Right now, everyone is thinking that Timothée Chalamet will win Best Actor for Marty Supreme. Loosely inspired by the table tennis player Marty Reisman, the film has been a hit with critics and audiences. So far, Chalamet has already won a Golden Globe and a Critics’ Choice Award for the role, so all eyes will be on him during the ceremony.
Shockingly, one actor not in the running is Paul Mescal for Hamnet. Despite the film scoring multiple nominations, including Best Picture, Mescal’s turn as William Shakespeare was somehow overlooked by the academy and is already being considered one of the biggest Oscar snubs of the year. So, who will be Chalamet’s competition at the awards? Check out the list of every Best Actor nominee:
Timothée Chalamet, Marty Supreme
Leonardo DiCaprio, One Battle After Another
Ethan Hawke, Blue Moon
Michael B. Jordan, Sinners
Wagner Moura, The Secret Agent
Best Supporting Actor
Another category that’s totally up for grabs is Best Supporting Actor. The category is loaded with legendary Hollywood vets who already have Oscars, like Stellan Skarsgård and Benicio del Toro, but the hottest and buzziest nominee is Frankenstein hunk, Jacob Elordi. So far, he’s definitely been the media’s favorite choice this award season, despite the fact that Skarsgård beat him for the award at the Golden Globes.
But Elordi is the hunkiest and most camera-friendly nominee this year, which has given him ample screentime by the press. Still, is being tall, dark, and handsome enough to snag the award? His leading man looks are great for red carpets and magazine covers, but as we saw with the Golden Globes, it might not be enough to secure the win.
Benicio Del Toro, One Battle After Another
Jacob Elordi, Frankenstein
Delroy Lindo, Sinners
Sean Penn, One Battle After Another
Stellan Skarsgård, Sentimental Value
Best Supporting Actress
Once again, One Battle After Another will find itself as a frontrunner for the award, but this time, Sinners won’t be its biggest competition. Instead, it will be pitted against the horror film Weapons. Technically, One Battle After Another is the favored winner. Not only has the movie earned a dozen other noms, but newcomer Teyana Taylor has a great underdog story and has lit red carpets ablaze. Plus, she scored the Golden Globe for her performance, where she was also competing against Weapons actress, Madigan.
But while Taylor is the critics’ choice, Madigan’s performance in Weapons is the fan favorite. Since the movie premiered back in August, fans have obsessed over her wild, nefarious performance, and her fiery red hair and smudged makeup inspired tons of Halloween costumes. This year, the debate seems to be about who will prevail: the critical darling or the audience choice? Read on to find out who else scored Oscar noms for Best Supporting Actress:
Elle Fanning, Sentimental Value
Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Sentimental Value
Amy Madigan, Weapons
Wunmi Mosaku, Sinners
Teyana Taylor, One Battle After Another
Best Animated Feature
Historically, the Best Animated Feature award was just handed to whatever Disney movie had come out that year. But in recent years, Disney has lost its grip on the category, with indie films like Flow (2024) and The Boy and the Heron (2023) winning the two previous awards. This year could be similar. While Disney has films like Elio nominated, the movie failed at the box office and received ample amounts of controversy because its producers feared Republican backlash and cut tons of diversity and subplots out of the movie, turning it into a mediocre and generic slopfest.
Plus, KPop Demon Hunters is nominated this year and has dominated pop culture since it came out in June. Its soundtrack continues to rule the Billboard charts, and its zeitgeist significance can’t be ignored, so there’s a good chance that Disney will once again lose the Best Animated Feature award. Here are all the nominees for Best Animated Feature:
Best International Feature
The Best International Feature award is pretty much secured for Sentimental Value or The Secret Agent, since both movies are also nominated in the major categories, including Best Picture. It would be strange for another film not nominated for Best Picture to somehow snag the award over two movies that have Best Picture noms.
The Secret Agent, Brazil
It Was Just an Accident, France
Sentimental Value, Norway
Sirāt, Spain
The Voice of Hind Rajab, Tunisia
