"The 2026 Oscar nominations featured a lot of good news for the folks at Warner Bros., with Sinners receiving 16 nominations (smashing the record for most nominations for a single film) and One Battle After Another on its heels with 13. As always with awards season, though, there was plenty of disappointment elsewhere, with many contenders receiving zero Academy Award nominations on Thursday."
"Despite a heavy awards push, Wicked: For Good was snubbed across the board this year, despite part one of the musical adaptation receiving 10 nominations last year. It was even overlooked for Best Song, despite composer Stephen Schwartz writing two new songs - "No Place Like Home" and "The Girl In the Bubble" - for the movie just so it would qualify for the category."
Warner Bros. led the 2026 Oscar nominations, with Sinners earning a record 16 nominations and One Battle After Another receiving 13.
