It’s time for the 98th annual Academy Awards, an evening celebrating the year’s best and brightest in the film industry. It’s always a glamorous, unforgettable evening, as Hollywood A-listers flock to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles to fête the finest achievements in cinema. Conan O'Brien is taking on hosting duties for the second consecutive year, and tonight (Sunday, March 15), he will be joined on stage throughout the evening by presenters including Adrien Brody, Anne Hathaway, Bill Pullman, Channing Tatum, Chris Evans, Chase Infiniti, Demi Moore, Delroy Lindo, Ewan McGregor, Gwyneth Paltrow, Javier Bardem, Jimmy Kimmel, Kieran Culkin, Kumail Nanjiani, Lewis Pullman, Maya Rudolph, Mikey Madison, Nicole Kidman, Pedro Pascal, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Paul Mescal, Robert Downey Jr., Rose Byrne, Sigourney Weaver, Wagner Moura, Will Arnett and Zoe Saldaña.
The 2026 Oscars feature a total of 24 categories, including one brand-new category, for achievement in casting. Sinners scored the most nominations of the night—a hefty 16—and made history as the most nominated film ever in Academy Awards, beating out the previous record of 14 that was shared by La La Land, Titanic and All About Eve.
Before the stars, including nominees like Michael B. Jordan, Jessie Buckley, Timothée Chalamet, Jacob Elordi, Teyana Taylor, Kate Hudson and more, head into the ceremony, they’ll walk the red carpet wearing some of the most exciting formalwear of awards season. Last year brought us best-dressed looks like Lupita Nyong'o in a pleated ivory Chanel dress, Mikey Madison in old Hollywood Dior, Chalamet in a butter yellow leather Givenchy suit, Ariana Grande in a ballerina-worthy Schiaparelli and Colman Domingo in a bold red and black Valentino ensemble—and the 98th Academy Awards is sure to live up to all that and more. Below, see the most exciting red carpet moments from the 2026 Oscars, updated live throughout the evening.
