Oscars 2026 — Complete Winners Table

The Big Winners — Breakdown & Context

🎬 Best Picture & Best Director — One Battle After Another / Paul Thomas Anderson The night’s definitive champion. Paul Thomas Anderson finally claimed his long-awaited Oscar for Best Director alongside Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Casting, and Best Editing — a staggering 6-win haul that cemented this as one of the most awarded films in recent memory. The film collected 13 nominations total, making it the top contender going in and the undisputed champion coming out.

🎭 Best Actor — Michael B. Jordan (Sinners) Michael B. Jordan’s win was one of the most celebrated moments of the night. His layered, powerhouse performance in Sinners finally gave him his first Oscar, and the standing ovation said everything. Jordan beat out a strong field including Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme) and Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another) — no small feat.

🎭 Best Actress — Jessie Buckley (Hamnet) Jessie Buckley’s win for Hamnet was warmly received — an emotionally rich performance that had been building awards momentum all season. She edged out Emma Stone (Bugonia) and Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value) in a fiercely competitive category.

🎭 Best Supporting Actor — Sean Penn (One Battle After Another) Sean Penn won despite not being present at the ceremony to accept the award. His absence added an unusual moment to the night, with his trophy accepted on his behalf. Penn’s performance had been widely praised throughout the awards season.

🎭 Best Supporting Actress — Amy Madigan (Weapons) A quiet but powerful upset of the evening. Amy Madigan’s win over the heavily favoured Wunmi Mosaku (Sinners) and Teyana Taylor (One Battle After Another) was one of the night’s genuine surprises, earning warm applause from the crowd.

🌍 Best International Feature — Sentimental Value (Norway) Norway’s Sentimental Value claimed the International Feature Film prize, continuing the strong run of Scandinavian cinema on the global stage. The film also received several other nominations across key categories including Acting and Editing.

🎵 Best Original Song — Golden (KPop Demon Hunters) The K-pop cultural wave crashed onto the Oscars stage in the most triumphant way. Golden, co-written and performed by EJAE, won Best Original Song alongside the film’s historic Best Animated Feature win — a double celebration for Korean pop culture on Hollywood’s biggest night.

🎨 Best Visual Effects — Avatar: Fire and Ash James Cameron’s franchise continued its technical dominance, with Avatar: Fire and Ash claiming Best Visual Effects — a category the franchise has owned for years and showed no signs of relinquishing.

🎸 Best Sound — F1 The high-octane racing drama delivered where it was expected to shine brightest: pure auditory immersion. F1 took Best Sound, arguably the most fitting win of the entire night given the film’s visceral, engine-roaring experience.

🎭 Rare Live-Action Short Tie In one of the most unusual moments of the evening, the Best Live-Action Short Film category resulted in a rare tie — both The Singers and Two People Exchanging Saliva were jointly awarded the Oscar.
