And so, awards season is coming to an end. 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 magical and unforgettable evening as Hollywood stars flock to the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate the greatest achievements in cinema. Conan O’Brien takes over hosting duties for the second year in a row, and tonight (Sunday, March 15), he will be joined on stage throughout the evening by hosts including Adrien Brody, Anne Hathaway, Bill Pullman, Channing Tatum, Chris Evans, Chase Infinity, Demi Moore, Delroy Lindo, Ewan McGregor, Gwyneth Paltrow, Javier Bardem, Jimmy Kimmel, Kieran Culkin, and Kumail. Nanjiani, Lewis Pullman, Maya Rudolph, Mickey 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 Academy Awards feature a total of 24 categories, including a brand-new category, for Achievement in Casting. Sinners It scored the most nominations of the night – a whopping 16 – and made history as the most nominated film ever at the Academy Awards, beating the previous record of 14 nominations it shared La La Land, Titanic and All about Eve.
Before stars, including nominees like Michael B. Jordan, Jesse Buckley, Timothée Chalamet, Jacob Elordi, Teyana Taylor, Kate Hudson and more, head to the ceremony, they’ll walk the red carpet wearing some of the hottest formal wear of awards season. The past year has brought us top looks like Lupita Nyong’o in an ivory pleated Chanel dress, Mickey Madison in an old Hollywood Dior dress, Chalamet in a yellow Givenchy leather suit, Ariana Grande in a Schiaparelli ballerina dress, and Colman Domingo in a bold red and black Valentino ensemble — and the 98th Academy Awards certainly lived up to all that and more. Below, watch the most exciting red carpet moments from the 2026 Oscars, updated live throughout the evening.
