2026 Academy Award Nominations: Here's The Complete List Of Oscar Contenders

The 2026 Oscar nominations have arrived, and you know what that means: Outrage, satisfaction, incredulity, and maybe even a dash of glee are only moments away for movie fans who care about the most prestigious ceremony in Hollywood. And hey, even if you're an awards season grump, we'd argue the Oscars are worth paying attention to — if not for the glitz and glamour, then at least as a reflection of the industry and what it thinks about itself. After all, the Oscars are actually voted on by folks who work in various disciplines of filmmaking, unlike much shadier ceremonies like the Golden Globes, which has a voting body that's not nearly as transparent. 

The people and films that win Oscars are etched into history, but those wins are more than just entries in an ongoing record. They're powerful tools that can be utilized to influence what types of movies get made in the future. So here is the complete list of nominees for the 2026 Academy Awards. Let the speculation about the winners begin, and we hope this ushers in a new era of winners who wield their power for the greater good of cinephiles everywhere.

This post is being updated live as the nominations are announced.
