Oscars 2026 live: Hollywood prepares for its biggest night of the year
"The favourite to win the Best Documentary prize tonight is The Perfect Neighbor, a terrific if incredibly disturbing doc for Netflix that revolves around the controversial 'Stand Your Ground' law."
"This is the first year since 2001 that a new category has been introduced to the Oscars, with Sunday night marking the debut of the Academy Award for Achievement in Casting. This is a very big deal, and has been championed within industry circles for a while."
"At the age of 30, Chalamet is now the youngest actor to receive three Best Actor nominations since Marlon Brando, which is a mightily impressive stat!"
The Oscars ceremony is underway with several competitive races in major categories. 'Sinners', 'One Battle After Another', and 'Hamnet' are among the frontrunners in various categories. Conan O'Brien returns as host after a successful previous stint, having tested jokes at comedy clubs, though he found one Oscar-nominated film difficult to work with comedically. 'The Perfect Neighbor', a Netflix documentary about the 'Stand Your Ground' law, is the favorite for Best Documentary. This year marks the debut of the Academy Award for Achievement in Casting, the first new Oscar category since 2001, with 'Sinners' considered the likely winner. Timothée Chalamet, at age 30, has become the youngest actor to receive three Best Actor nominations since Marlon Brando.
