The 2026 Oscar nominations are being revealed.
Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman are announcing this year’s nominees in 24 categories, including the new casting award, in a live presentation from the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater, starting at 5:30 a.m. PT.
Film fans and awards observers can watch the announcement live on ABC’s Good Morning America and stream it on the Oscars‘ website, the Film Academy’s digital platforms (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok), Hulu, Disney+ and ABC News Live.
This year, the Oscars has added a new category, the first since best animated feature was introduced in 2002, recognizing best casting. A shortlist of 10 films was released, along with Oscar shortlists in a number of other categories, last month, with the final nominees determined by members of the casting directors branch from a “bake-off” presentation of the shortlisted contenders.
The Academy also made it harder for members to vote in categories in which they have not watched all of the nominees, tracking viewing via the members-only Academy Screening Room app, and, for films seen elsewhere, like at screenings and film festivals, members had to fill out a form noting when and where they watched a film.
The 2026 Oscars, hosted by Conan O’Brien for the second year in a row, are set to air live on ABC and Hulu from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 15, starting at 4 p.m. PT.
Last year’s Academy Award for best picture went to Anora, just one of five awards won by the Sean Baker film, including best director (Baker) and best actress (Mikey Madison). Best actor went to Adrien Brody (The Brutalist), with Zoe Saldaña winning best supporting actress for Emilia Pérez and Kieran Culkin winning best supporting actor for A Real Pain.
