After months of anticipation and a packed awards season, the 2026 Oscars have finally arrived. The 98th Academy Awards kicked off at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 15, broadcasting live from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles.

The race for Oscar gold has been particularly exciting this year. When nominations were announced on January 22, Ryan Coogler’s 'Sinners' made headlines by breaking the all-time record for the most nominations for a single film, earning 16 nominations.

The previous record stood at 14 nominations, shared by three classics: All About Eve (1950), Titanic (1997), and La La Land (2016).

In total, the Academy will hand out awards across 24 categories this year. Notably, the ceremony also introduces a brand-new category: Best Casting, marking a historic change in how filmmaking talent is recognized.
