The 98th Academy Awards are finally here! This year's ceremony is hosted by Conan O'Brien, who also hosted last year at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Sinners leads the nominations with a record-breaking 16 nods, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. The show can be seen live on ABC and CTV tonight, Sunday, March 15, 2026.
Some of Conan's best bits during his monologue included mocking Timothée Chalamet who dissed ballet and opera, saying "no one cares about" those forms of art anymore. He also quipped, "In Hamnet, Shakespeare’s wife gives birth by herself in the woods. Or what we call in America: Affordable health care" and "This year we added a new category, best casting. Which means tonight, one casting director won an Oscar and for the rest of you, we decided to go in another direction."
Amy Madigan won the first award handed out -- for Best Supporting Actress -- for her role in Weapons, in which she gave an incredible performance. The next award, for Animated Feature Film, went to KPop Demon Hunters, which has not only received critical acclaim, but was a huge box office hit. Frankenstein has won two crafts awards so far -- for Makeup and Hairstyling and Costume Design. Canada has made an appearance amongst the winners with the National Film Board of Canada's short film The Girl Who Cried Pearls.
Harrison Ford received a Life Achievement Award and joked, "It's a little weird to be receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at the half point of my career. It's a little early isn't it? I'm still a working actor."
