Ultimate Oscars 2026 Nominations Checklist: Films Ranked by Mentions Across 16 Categories
A complete Oscars 2026 nominations checklist covering 16 award categories. Films are ranked from most-nominated to least, making it easy to track Best Picture contenders and major award players.
Editor's Note
This year, Sinners emerged as the clear standout, earning nominations across more categories than any other film on the list and broke the all-time record. That kind of wide recognition always gets my attention, and I’m especially curious to see how it holds up on the night. There are still a few films here I haven’t watched yet which feels like the perfect excuse to slow down and really enjoy awards season. Save the date for March 15, 2026!
