LEONARDO Di Caprio and Timothee Chalamet will battle it out for the Best Actor gong after the Oscars nominations list was revealed.
The One Battle After Another star and Marty Supreme actor – who picked up the same accolade at the Golden Globes this month – will again lock horns.
The Oscars, which will be the 98th ceremony of its kind, takes place at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on Sunday, March 15.
Though the prestigious nominations list has been made public today, with Hollywood actors Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman revealing the nominations for all 24 Oscars 2026 categories.
Hamnet’s Jessie Buckley, Song Sung Blue’s Kate Hudson and Bugonia protagonist Emma Stone are all in the mix for Best Actress.
Frankenstein’s Jacob Elordi will be hoping to scoop the Best Supporting Actor accolade and is in the mix with Sean Penn and Benicio del Torro.
Meanwhile, for Best Supporting Actress, Elle Fanning, Teyana Taylor and Wunmi Mosaku are all contenders.
Hamnet director Chloe Zhao will be hoping to trump One Battle After Another’s Paul Thomas Anderson after the latter scooped the Best Director accolade at the Golden Globes.
Yet with Hamnet, based on Maggie O’Farrell’s book scooping the Best Picture at the Globes, it remains to be seen if it will replicate that success in March.
Other categories include Best Picture, Best Casting (new category debut), Best Cinematography, Best Directing and Best Documentary Feature Film.
FAN FURY
Additionally, Wicked fans are up in arms after Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were snubbed – claiming the pair “were robbed”.
Oscar nominations were released on Thursday morning, with Wicked: For Good and its cast notably absent from the list.
Both stars were nominated for their roles in Wicked at the 2025 Oscars.
“F**K THE OSCARS,” one angry fan posted.
“Oh they PLAYED W MY MOTHERS,” a second complained.

OSCARS LOWDOWN
The 98th Oscars ceremony is set for Sunday, March 15, 2026, at the Dolby Theater at Ovation Hollywood.
Conan O’Brien returns as host after last year, delivering his signature wit to celebrate 2025 films across 24 categories, including the new Best Casting.
It will air live on ABC from 7pm ET (11pm GMT), with simultaneous streaming on Hulu.
In the UK, ITV1, STV, STV Player and ITVX will broadcast the prestigious 2026 Oscars.
Meanwhile, UK bookmakers Coral have already revealed their top tips for the winners.
Spokesperson John Hill said: “One Battle After Another is the warm favourite to win the Best Picture at the Oscars.
“It has topped the betting since it was released, and it remains long odds-on to land the top prize.
“Timothee Chalamet and Jessie Buckley are also firm favourites in the Best Actor and Best Actress markets respectively in what is likely to be a good night for the pair,” he added.
