A Record-Breaking Batch of Nominees: What's Cooking at the Oscars?
The 98th Academy Awards are set to be a night to remember, with several surprises and records being broken along the way. The highly anticipated nominations were announced on Thursday, sending shockwaves through Hollywood.
At the forefront of this year's contenders is Paul Thomas Anderson's epic film "One Battle After Another," which took home a staggering 13 Oscar nods, securing second place behind Ryan Coogler's vampire masterpiece "Sinners." This record-breaking performance shatters the previous mark set by "All About Eve," "Titanic," and "La La Land."
But it's not all about the big hitters. Emerging talent is also making waves in the industry. The 2026 Oscar nominations welcomed a fresh batch of first-time nominees, including Rose Byrne, Jacob Elordi, Elle Fanning, Michael B. Jordan, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Delroy Lindo, Wagner Moura, Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgard, and Teyana Taylor.
Timothée Chalamet is also making history with his ninth Oscar nomination, becoming the youngest actor since Marlon Brando to receive a third Best Actor nod for "Marty Supreme." This achievement solidifies his status as one of Hollywood's most promising young stars.
The K-pop genre has finally made its mark on the Oscars. Netflix film "KPop Demon Hunters" became the first song in this genre to ever be nominated for an Oscar, with its hit single "Golden" taking center stage. The film also received a nomination for Best Animated Feature Film, marking a significant milestone for K-pop's presence at the Academy Awards.
Last but not least, legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg has broken a record with his 14th nomination for Best Picture. This achievement is a testament to his enduring legacy in the film industry.
The 98th Academy Awards are set to take place on March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with ABC and Hulu streaming live coverage starting at 7 p.m. ET. It's shaping up to be an unforgettable night, filled with surprises, records broken, and the cream of Hollywood's crop vying for glory. Will this be "Sinners"' year? Only time will tell.

i mean 13 nominations for one film is insane! paul thomas anderson is on fire rn 
but lowkey i'm loving that emerging talent getting recognition too 
rose byrne, jacob elordi & elle fanning are all so talented & young 
timothée chalamet's ninth nom is a big deal btw 
& k-pop finally making its mark on the oscars is amazing 
'kpop demon hunters' getting nominated for best animated feature is wild too 
steven spielberg breaking records is just incredible, he's the real deal 
can't wait to see who'll take home those awards on march 15 
. I mean, it's great to see new faces in the industry, but at the same time, you can't help but feel like some of these actors might be a bit... green? 
Still, it's all about supporting up-and-coming talent and giving them a chance to shine. And hey, if they bring home that Oscar, who cares if they're not as seasoned as some of the old pros? 
. anyway, can't wait to watch all these movies and see who takes home the trophy 
.
I was skeptical at first, but now I'm hooked! I mean, have you ever had that perfect crispy chip without all the extra oil? 
It's like a game-changer. I'm thinking of making some popcorn for the Oscars tonight... 
he should just win already, it's time for someone new to shine
The fact that K-pop is finally getting recognition at the Oscars with "KPop Demon Hunters" and its hit single "Golden" is super cool too 
. And let's not forget Timothée Chalamet, he's literally on fire 
. Can't wait to see who takes home the awards! 
and still going strong. and I'm loving the diversity in nominations this year, it's like the Oscars are finally catching up to our times 
. but seriously, who else could make "Marty Supreme" sound like a real movie title? Timothée Chalamet's ninth nomination is wild 
. it's all about the surprises and records this year, can't wait to see who wins 
and timothée chalamet's gotta bring his A game if he wants that 3rd best actor nod 
but hey, at least the k-pop genre is finally getting some love 
wagner moura and renate reinsve looking pretty strong in their respective categories 
. And what's with the K-pop nomination? Is this the start of something new for Hollywood? 
Should we be excited about more diverse music in the Oscars? 
steven spiler is still the king of filmmaking btw 
. Timothée Chalamet is a teen idol at this point 
. And let's not forget Timothée Chalamet's ninth Oscar nomination - is he just phoning it in at this point? 
Ugh, another Oscars season and I'm already annoyed... 14 nominations for Spielberg is just lazy, can't he come up with something new for once?
