The 2026 Academy Awards featured several major surprises, including Michael B. Jordan winning Best Actor for *Sinners*, which also set a record with 16 nominations. Timothée Chalamet’s *Marty Supreme*, a top contender with nine nominations, won nothing. *Mr Nobody Against Putin* took Best Documentary Feature over *The Perfect Neighbor*, while *The Girl Who Cried Pearls* won Best Animated Short. A rare tie in the live-action short category awarded co-winners to *Singers* and *Two People Exchanging Saliva*. Last year’s acting winners returned to present awards, and Conan O'Brien hosted the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre.
