Awards Season is all leading up to this.

Award Season is in full swing, and after the Golden Globe winners were revealed earlier this month, all eyes are on the Academy Awards. While folks are excited to watch host Conan O'Brien's monologue, the biggest question mark is exactly who will be who ends up taking home a coveted Oscar statuette. First up we need to find out who the nominees are, and that's happening this morning.

This year's Academy Award nominations will be revealed by hosts Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman, both of whom happened to appear in recent comic book projects: Peacemaker Season 2 (streaming with a HBO Max subscription) and Thunderbolts* respectively. Previous ceremonies like the Golden Globes and the Actor Awards, all eyes are on the Oscars. Without further ado, here are the projects and individual artists lucky enough to be recognized by The Film Academy for this past season of film.

Talk about a thrilling outcome. While some of these nominations felt like sure things, there were some surprises as well. For instance, Academy voters seemed to feel much stronger for Sinners than the Golden Globes, with a number of their snubbed actors getting their flowers including Delory Lindo and Wunmi Mosaku. Additionally, Wicked: For Good got totally shut out, including folks like Ariana Grande who picked up a number of other nominations for her role as Glinda (including last year's Oscar nomination). We'll just have to wait and see who ends up snatching a trophy.

All will be revealed when the Oscars air on March 15th as part of the 2026 TV schedule.
