Oscars 2026 Nominations, Microdramas, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we are kicking things off with a breakdown and discussion on Oscars 2026, that's right, the 98th Academy Awards nominations are here! From what should win to what seems to be the actual frontrunner in all of the major categories. Was One Battle After Another the best of the year? Did Sinners deserve a record 16 nominations? Should Timothée Chalamet finally receive his first Oscar?

The 98th Annual Academy Awards will air Sunday, March 15, 2026, at 7 p.m. EDT (4 p.m. PDT) on ABC and Hulu.
