"Sinners broke records with 16 Oscar nominations, including best picture, best directing and actor categories. Returning as host for a second year is Conan O'Brien, who also has an acting role in the Oscar-nominated movie If I Had Legs I'd Kick You as a therapist - which you can expect him to make at least one joke about on the night."
"Make sure attendees fill out their ballots before the show starts, and don't let people change their answers depending on how the night is going, as I accidentally did in 2024 - highly dishonorable behavior, in my opinion. In my experience, guests will truly take their ballots seriously once they realize that prizes - in my case, Alamo Drafthouse merchandise - are on the line."
The 98th Academy Awards ceremony takes place on Sunday with Conan O'Brien returning as host for his second consecutive year. O'Brien also appears in the Oscar-nominated film If I Had Legs I'd Kick You as a therapist. Sinners achieved record-breaking success with 16 nominations across major categories including best picture and best directing. The Academy website provides the complete list of nominees.

The article notes the 2026 Oscars season has extended considerably long.
