Oscar Nominations 2026

The Oscar nominations are out, and a pattern shows up fast. One Battle After Another sits everywhere at once, picture, director, acting, writing, crafts, which puts it straight at the centre of the race.

Marty Supreme and Sinners stay close behind, strong across performances and technical fields, while Sentimental Value keeps appearing quietly in acting, directing, editing, and international film.

Frankenstein pulls the craft categories toward itself, especially cinematography, design, makeup, and costumes.

Big scale films still matter this year, showing up in sound and visual effects. It feels like a lineup where performance and craft keep pace, rather than one outshining the other.
