It’s been a memorable awards season, to say the least—and now, here we are at its showstopping conclusion: the 2026 Oscars. So, with almost all of the major races hanging on a knife edge up until the very last minute, who came out on top: the beloved Best Picture underdog Sinners or the dominant One Battle After Another? Best Actor frontrunner Timothée Chalamet or the highly respected Michael B. Jordan (or, indeed, the international insurgent, Wagner Moura)? And what about the seemingly wide open supporting acting contests, the screenplay categories, and the highly-competitive Best International Feature line-up? See the winners’ list in full from the 98th Academy Awards, below.
