Oscars 2026: Surprising facts about the nominees

Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners', a vampire epic that delves into the blues, has taken the Oscar nominations by storm with an astonishing 16 nods, shattering records previously held by iconic films like "All About Eve", "Titanic" and "La La Land". This monumental achievement sets a new benchmark for most Oscar nominations in history.

Meanwhile, Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" continues to impress, garnering 13 nominations, including several in top categories. TimothΓ©e Chalamet is on fire, landing his third Best Actor nomination for the highly-acclaimed drama "Marty Supreme". He joins an elite group of actors who have secured multiple nominations in leading roles.

Ruth E. Carter has made history by becoming the most nominated Black woman in Oscar history across any category. Her fifth Oscar nod for "Sinners" cements her legacy as a trailblazer in costume design.

This year's Oscars also welcome a fresh batch of first-time nominees, including Rose Byrne, Jacob Elordi, Elle Fanning and Michael B. Jordan, among others. Among them is prolific songwriter Diane Warren, who has been nominated for Best Original Song for the ninth consecutive year.

In a historic moment, K-pop has finally broken into the Oscars with Netflix film "KPop Demon Hunters", with its hit song "Golden" becoming the first K-pop track to ever be nominated for an Oscar. This marks a significant milestone in the genre's growing influence on global cinema.

Lastly, Steven Spielberg has achieved another record-breaking feat by securing his 14th nomination as an individual producer for Best Picture, solidifying his position as one of the most successful filmmakers in history.
