Hollywood’s biggest night just got even bigger.
The 98th Academy Awards nominations were announced on January 22, 2026, and the results are already reshaping the awards season. The Oscars ceremony will take place on March 15, 2026, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with Conan O’Brien returning as host.
“Sinners” Makes History
The biggest headline of the day belongs to Ryan Coogler’s gothic drama “Sinners.” The film earned a staggering 16 nominations, setting a new record for the most nominations ever received by a single film — surpassing classics like Titanic and La La Land.
That makes Sinners the clear frontrunner heading into March, and the film’s buzz is only growing.
