For the 2026 Oscars, Michael B. Jordan and other A-listers got up close and personal with journalists in a new special, "On The Red Carpet: And the Nominees Are...". Jordan, nominated for his lead role in 'Sinners', shared that when taking on complex characters like twins "Smoke" and "Stack", he tries to inject as much of himself into the performance.
The film, directed by Ryan Coogler, has broken records with 16 total Oscar nominations. This surpasses previous record holders, 'Titanic,' 'La La Land' and 'All About Eve', which each garnered 14 nominations.
Jordan's co-stars, Wunmi Mosaku and Delroy Lindo, have also received nods in the same category.
In addition to 'Sinners', 'One Battle After Another' has garnered the second-most nominations this year. The film already won at several award ceremonies including the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, and National Board of Review Awards.
Leonardo DiCaprio is up for his sixth career Lead Actor nomination and eighth overall in total. He described the movie as "an original concept," stating that it's about a father trying to reconnect with his daughter.
Other nominees include 'Marty Supreme', 'Frankenstein', 'Sentimental Value', 'Bugonia', 'F1', 'The Secret Agent,' 'Train Dreams', and 'Hamnet'.
Hamnet's Jessie Buckley is now an Oscar nominee for Best Actress, having previously won the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award.
The new special also features interviews with Rose Byrne, Stellan Skarsgrd, Wagner Moura, Ethan Hawke, Kate Hudson and many more.

he talked about injecting himself into his characters which i love he's not afraid to take risks as an actor 
and that leonardo dicaprio has been nominated like six times? what a legend! 
i'm also hyped for hamnet's jessie buckley, she won some major awards already 
but seriously have you seen the list of movies this year? it's so diverse and exciting!
. Michael B. Jordan always slays in his roles and I love how he puts a piece of himself into the characters... it makes them feel more real, you know? 
I've seen 'One Battle After Another' and while it's not my fave, I can see why it's got so much buzz. And who else but Leo could make an original concept look cool in a trailer 
? The cast list is huge this year... love seeing Hamnet's Jessie Buckley on there, she was amazing in her Golden Globe win 
16 nominations for 'Sinners' is insane, like they're trying to one up the rest 
. and michael b jordan just spilling all his method acting secrets on live TV 
. i'm sure it's super relatable to watch him talk about injecting himself into a role... meanwhile, leonardo dicaprio is still trying to prove he's not a method actor (just kidding, leo) 
. and who else but wunmi mosaku and delroy lindo getting nominated? they're like the cool uncle of the oscars 
. can't wait for this red carpet special to air... i'm sure it'll be just as thrilling as watching paint dry 
. newsflash: the real heroes are the writers and directors who put in real effort to create these masterpieces, not the actors who just get to wear pretty clothes on the red carpet 
.

I'm loving how diverse the nominees are this year! Like, it's amazing that Michael B Jordan is up for 'Sinners' 
and Leonardo DiCaprio is nominated for his sixth lead role 
. And I gotta say, 16 Oscar nominations for 'Sinners' is insane 
. It's also awesome to see some of our fave actors like DiCaprio, Mosaku, and Lindo gettin' nods too 
. I'm rootin' for 'One Battle After Another' to take home some gold 
. And wow, 16 nominations is crazy! I'm rooting for 'One Battle After Another' (have you seen it?) and 'Sinners', can't wait to see what the Oscars bring 
Can't they just let us focus on the actual awards instead? And another thing, why do they have to go and make all these special segments that are like an hour long? It's like they're trying to suck every last drop of entertainment value out of this event. Can we just stick to the main ceremony already? 
. But what about the other nominees? Is 'One Battle After Another' just trying to keep up with 'Sinners', or is there something more going on here? I think we need to look deeper into who funded these films and how that affects the outcome... it's all about the Benjamins, folks
