I’m so excited – it’s that time of year again when the Oscars announce who’s in the running! It’s amazing to see both the famous actors and the hardworking people behind the camera who made all our favorite movies – big blockbusters and smaller hidden gems – possible this past year.
As always, some people are clear favorites to win, while others face long odds, even before the event begins. Here’s a full list of those who will likely be celebrating victories and dealing with disappointments this year.
Below is the list of 2026 nominees.
