Oscars 2026 nominees full list: Sinners breaks new record with 16 nominations

The Academy has finally announced the Oscars nominations, with One Battle after Another and Hamnet standing as favourites following their recent victories at the Golden Globes... but with Ryan Coogler's Sinners breaking a new record as the most nominated film in Oscars history: 16 nominations.

The previous record was held by All About Eve, Titanic, and La La Land (14 nominations). That includes, of course, Best Picture and Best Director, but also a brand new award that will be handed out for the first time at the 98th edition of the Academy Awards on March 15: Best Casting. One Battle After Another, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, and The Secret Agent are also on that category.

The Secret Agent has also risen as the favourite non-language film of the year for the critics and academics, as it has secured a place among the Top 10 films in addition to their Best International Film. It surpasses other favourites like It Was Just an Accident, The Voice of Hind Rajab and Sirāt.

Also noteworthy is the recognition of F1 as the "feel-good blockbuster" of the year: it has landed four nominations, including Best Picture, similarly to what happened with Joseph Kosinski's previous film, Top Gun Maverick in 2022.

Surprisingly, Wicked: For Good has not received any nominations (the first film received ten nominations and won two last year), and Guillermo del Toro was snubbed for the Best Director category. Also, Timothée Chalamet became the youngest actor (he recently turned 30) since Marlon Brando to receive three Best Actor Oscar nominations. He has yet to win, but he's the main favourite for his role in Marty Supreme.

Here's the full list of nominees for the 98th edition of the Oscars.
