The countdown to the 2026 Academy Awards has officially begun. The list of nominees for the 98th Oscars, announced by Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman, is now out, with the star-studded ceremony scheduled for March 15, 2026. And this year’s race was particularly competitive: 317 films qualified in the general categories, and 201 titles were eligible for Best Picture, making the path to an Oscar nomination quite tough.
From an Indian cinema perspective, however, Neeraj Ghaywan’s Homebound, which was in contention for a nomination in the International Feature Film category, ultimately missed out on making the final list.
One of the biggest talking points from the nominations announcement is Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, which has made history as the most-nominated film ever at the Academy Awards. The critically acclaimed supernatural horror film landed a staggering 16 nominations in various major categories, including Best Picture, Best Directing, Best Actor in a Leading Role, and Best Original Screenplay. So, which three films did Sinners surpass to become the most-nominated title in Oscars history? Keep scrolling to find out.
