The global anticipation for the 2026 Oscars nominations is palpable, with particular fervor in India. Neeraj Ghaywan's "Homebound" is currently in contention for a nomination in the Best International Feature Film category, having been shortlisted in December. This submission, supported by Dharma Productions and featuring Ishaan Khatter, is a significant point of interest.
Hollywood's own race for the 2026 Academy Awards is heating up, with films such as "One Battle After Another" and Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" leading the charge. Industry speculation suggests "Sinners" could potentially challenge the record for the most Oscar nominations received by a single film.
Today, January 22, 2026, actors Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman will announce the official nominations live. The Academy Awards ceremony itself is scheduled for March 15, with Conan O'Brien set to host the prestigious event.
