Oscar Nominations 2026: The Biggest Snubs and Surprises
"The nominations for the 98th Annual Academy Awards were announced on Thursday morning, and while there were plenty of unsurprising nods - favorites like One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, Bugonia and Frankenstein all fared well, as they were expected - there were also a handful of unexpected nominations and shocking omissions. (Justice for Guillermo del Toro!) Perhaps the biggest surprise was that Sinners made Oscar history, becoming the most-nominated film of all time with its 16 nods."
"Though her screentime is limited to roughly 31 minutes, her character is the heart of the film in many ways. She's also hugely important to the plot, with the last act of the movie completely centered on her. Plus, leaving her out of the supporting field guarantees that she won't split the vote there with Teyana Taylor (who won a Golden Globe in the same category earlier this month)."
The 98th Annual Academy Awards nominations include many expected nods for One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, Bugonia, and Frankenstein. Sinners earned a record 16 nominations, becoming the most-nominated film in Oscars history. Chase Infiniti was submitted in Best Lead Actress for One Battle After Another despite limited screentime, prompting debate about category placement and vote splitting with Teyana Taylor. Infiniti was ultimately left out of a crowded lead actress field. Wicked: For Good received no nominations after the original Wicked had ten nods the previous year, reflecting weaker reception for the sequel.
