His supernatural thriller Sinners has smashed the record held by All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land for the most nominations, racking up 16 in total, two more than the previous record of 14.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s film One Battle After Another picked up a highly creditable 13 nominations and remains a key frontrunner for best picture on the night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Marty Supreme, Sentimental Value and Frankenstein got nine nominations each, while, as previously noted, Hamnet received eight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">It wasn\u2019t a home run \u2013 there will be disappointment that Paul Mescal didn\u2019t get his nomination \u2013 but this was a great set of nominations for Ireland, topped by Jessie Buckley\u2019s mention in the best actress category. She will be the one to beat in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Hamnet picked up eight nominations overall, including one for Maggie O\u2019Farrell, alongside director Chlo\u00e9 Zhao, for adapted screenplay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Irishman Richard Baneham, part of the visual effects team behind Avatar: Fire and Ash, picked up a nomination, which was also expected. He\u2019s already a two-time Oscar winner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">John Kelly and Andrew Freedman were nominated for Retirement Plan in the animated short film category. The film was commissioned by Screen Ireland and RT\u00c9 and features the vocal talents of Domhnall Gleeson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Jesse Plemons was tipped to be nominated for best actor for Bugonia, made by Ireland\u2019s Element Pictures. He lost out, but star Emma Stone made the best actress cut, while Element\u2019s Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe were nominated as Bugonia made the best picture list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free

Actors Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman are here to announce this year\u2019s nominations live from the Academy\u2019s Samuel Goldwyn Theatre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">I\u2019ll be posting the main categories here as they are revealed, then mopping up the best of the rest, plus we\u2019ll have the usual analysis from our chief film correspondent Donald Clarke soon afterwards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Insert your own popcorn emoji here!<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">The countdown to the 1.30pm nominations reveal is on, and the most important questions of all remain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Which Hollywood actors will pretend to have slept through the announcement? Who will have the pronunciation of their names butchered right at their moment of career glory?<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">And which distraught hopefuls will be on the phone to their agents demanding to know what went wrong?<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Find out soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Speaking of Buckley, Anne Lucey is in Killarney for The Irish Times. She reports on a proud moment for the town:<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Excitement is building in a bright but cold Killarney this morning amid widespread anticipation that Jessie Buckley will be nominated for an Oscar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">At the Arbutus \u2013 the Buckley family hotel established in 1926 by her great-grandparents \u2013 aunt Carol Dempsey and her husband Sean Buckley (Jessie\u2019s godfather) speak of their exhilaration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">\u201cIt\u2019s most extraordinary,\u201d he says, while Dempsey describes the star as someone who has always been \u201cwonderful, a hard worker and very focused\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">\u201cEveryone is rooting for Jessie,\u201d adds Marie Moloney of the Killarney Musical Society, which saw Buckley take to the stage from a young age.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">As for the actual Oscars, they will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 15th, or in the early hours of March 16th in this time zone. They will be hosted for the second consecutive year by Conan O\u2019Brien.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">This year there\u2019s a new award for casting, with the gong designed to recognise the underappreciated art of matching the right actors to the right roles. Then, from 2028, which marks the centenary of the first ever Oscars, an award for best stunt design will join the line-up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">But the Oscars are poised to undergo much more dramatic change from 2029. This is when Disney-owned ABC, which has done the live telecast in the US every year since 1976, will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/culture\/film\/2025\/12\/18\/oscars-to-move-from-broadcast-tv-to-youtube-in-2029\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/culture\/film\/2025\/12\/18\/oscars-to-move-from-broadcast-tv-to-youtube-in-2029\/\">lose its rights to YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">The video platform will stream the awards live worldwide from 2029 after striking a deal with the Academy late last year. The financial terms of this coup were not disclosed, but given YouTube is owned by Google\u2019s parent company Alphabet, we can assume that money was no object.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">RT\u00c9 showed the ceremony live (from midnight, Irish time) in 2025, so let\u2019s hope it still has enough money to fork out for the rights to this year\u2019s festival of Jessie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Never mind the Irish, what about the rest of the Oscars?<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">The films that pick up the most nominations aren\u2019t always the ones that do the best on the night, and sometimes it can feel a bit deflating and beside-the-point when the headlines focus on the totals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Still, this year could be a genuinely interesting one for nomination tallies \u2013 for awards nerds, at least \u2013 as One Battle After Another or Sinners or perhaps both could break the record for the most nods received by a single film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">That record stands at 14 and was set before the 1951 awards by All About Eve before being equalled by Titanic in 1998 and by La La Land before 2017\u2019s infamous envelope-gate ceremony.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">(Titanic also shares the record for the most wins, at 11, with Ben-Hur and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Other points of interest include how awards-season heavyweights Marty Supreme and Sentimental Value will fare, especially in the acting categories. Both films are overflowing with Oscar-worthy performances, though not all of them are guaranteed to be recognised by voters.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Titanic: director James Cameron with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet during the filming of the 1997 film's floating-door scene.

The animator and visual effects supervisor previously won Academy Awards in 2010 and 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">There may also be local interest in the animated short film category, as two Irish titles, Retirement Plan and \u00c9iru, made the shortlist of 15 announced before Christmas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">And then there\u2019s the chance of multiple nominations for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/culture\/film\/review\/2025\/10\/31\/bugonia-review-mid-ranking-yorgosia-that-just-about-justifies-its-many-indulgences\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/culture\/film\/review\/2025\/10\/31\/bugonia-review-mid-ranking-yorgosia-that-just-about-justifies-its-many-indulgences\/\">Bugonia<\/a>, which is another collaboration between Dublin-based Element Pictures, Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos and lead actress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/tags\/emma-stone\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/tags\/emma-stone\/\">Emma Stone<\/a>. If it makes the best picture list, producers Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe will swell the tally of Irish nods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">The people who love Hamnet really love Hamnet.

In 2023 he snuck up from the outside to snatch a best actor nomination for his devastatingly subtle performance in the Charlotte Wells film <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/culture\/film\/review\/2022\/11\/16\/aftersun-five-stars-for-paul-mescals-new-film-this-is-one-for-the-ages\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/culture\/film\/review\/2022\/11\/16\/aftersun-five-stars-for-paul-mescals-new-film-this-is-one-for-the-ages\/\">Aftersun<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph free \">Donald Clarke, in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/culture\/film\/2026\/01\/21\/oscars-2026-is-jessie-buckley-a-dead-cert-for-a-nomination-tomorrow-and-who-else-will-be-recognised\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/culture\/film\/2026\/01\/21\/oscars-2026-is-jessie-buckley-a-dead-cert-for-a-nomination-tomorrow-and-who-else-will-be-recognised\/\">nominations preview<\/a>, says Andrew Scott has an outside chance of a best supporting actor nod for his quiet but compelling performance as musical-theatre composer Richard Rodgers in Irish coproduction Blue Moon, in which he plays opposite lead actor hopeful Ethan Hawke.
