    • March 15, 2026

    The actors, directors, producers, nominees and production crew have made their way to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles to celebrate the biggest night in Hollywood. The 98th annual Academy Awards returns to ABC tonight to celebrate cinematic achievements in the film industry.

    The official ceremony begins at 4 p.m. PT with Conan O’Brien returning as the host for the evening after hosting the 97th annual Academy Awards last year.

    New to the ceremony this year will be the award for best casting, which recognizes the essential role casting directors play in making movies come to life. The inaugural nominees for the category include Nina Gold for “Hamnet,” Jennifer Venditti for “Marty Supreme,” Cassandra Kulukundis for “One Battle After Another,” Gabriel Domingues for “The Secret Agent” and Francine Maisler for “Sinners.”

    “Sinners” made history this year as the most nominated film in Academy Award history. The Ryan Coogler film has received 16 nominations. Before that, the record had been a three-way tie among “All About Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land,” with each of those films earning 14 Academy Award nominations.

    Heading into the ceremony, the best actor in a leading role category has become a main talking point over this past week after a clip with Timothée Chalamet resurfaced online. “I don’t wanna be working in ballet or opera, or, you know, things where it’s like, hey, keep this thing alive. Even though it’s like, no one cares about this anymore,” said Chalamet on February 24. “All respect to the ballet and opera people out there. I just lost 14 cents in viewership.”

    The criticism about the comment became a story online just a few days after the Thursday, March 5, deadline for the voting window for the 98th annual Academy Awards. Because of this, it’s unlikely that Chalamet’s critique of ballet and opera will have any impact on voters’ decision for the best actor category.

    4:00 p.m. – The show begins

    It only took a minute or so of Conan O’Brien’s opening monologue for him to address Timothée Chalamet’s recent comments, joking that there was extra security this year because of threats made by the ballet and opera communities. The camera quickly cut to Chalamet, who laughed off the joke.

    Big cheers interrupt O’Brien’s monologue as he mentions the best documentary short film category, prompting the comedian to ask the audience, “What’s that about?”
