If April is the cruelest month, per T.S. Eliot, the Oscars surely must be the cruelest (and longest) season. Other awards shows push their way into the queue for moments of borrowed red carpet glory, but the Academy Awards are what the buildup is all about and the one people remember.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, the countdown can now be measured in hours and minutes rather than months, with the 98th Academy Awards slated to start Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. Conan O\u2019Brien is back to host the awards for the second straight year.<\/p>\n
Best picture is expected to come down to \u201cSinners<\/a>,\u201d which broke the record for most nominations<\/a> with 16, and \u201cOne Battle After Another<\/a>,\u201d with 13. Paul Thomas Anderson and \u201cOne Battle\u201d have dominated the precursor awards, but Ryan Coogler and \u201cSinners\u201d have gained momentum in recent weeks<\/a>. The films also expect to vie in the newly added and long-anticipated casting category<\/a>.<\/p>\n Last year\u2019s acting winners, Adrien Brody<\/a> (\u201cThe Brutalist\u201d), Kieran Culkin<\/a> (\u201cA Real Pain\u201d), Mikey Madison<\/a> (\u201cAnora\u201d) and Zoe Salda\u00f1a<\/a> (\u201cEmilia P\u00e9rez\u201d), will return to the Oscars stage to present.<\/p>\n Other announced presenters<\/a> include Javier Bardem<\/a>, Chris Evans, Chase Infiniti<\/a>, Demi Moore<\/a>, Kumail Nanjiani, Maya Rudolph, Will Arnett<\/a>, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Robert Downey Jr., Anne Hathaway, Paul Mescal<\/a>, Gwyneth Paltrow<\/a>, Rose Byrne<\/a>, Nicole Kidman<\/a>, Jimmy Kimmel<\/a>, Delroy Lindo<\/a>, Ewan McGregor, Wagner Moura<\/a>, Pedro Pascal, Bill Pullman, Lewis Pullman, Channing Tatum and Sigourney Weaver.<\/p>\n The 2026 Oscars will air on ABC, and those with cable subscriptions can also watch the show by logging in to the ABC app or abc.com. The telecast will stream live on Hulu, YouTube TV, AT&T TV and FuboTV. Internationally, the ceremony will be broadcast in more than 200 territories. <\/p>\n Beginning in 2029, the show will stream exclusively on YouTube.<\/p>\n Follow along live as we wait to hear the words \u201cAnd the Oscar goes to \u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n Best picture<\/b> Actress in a leading role<\/b> Actor in a leading role<\/b> Actress in a supporting role<\/b> Actor in a supporting role<\/b> Directing<\/b> Adapted screenplay<\/b> Original screenplay<\/b> Documentary feature<\/b> Documentary short <\/b> Animated feature <\/b> Animated short <\/b> Cinematography<\/b> Costume design<\/b> Film editing<\/b> International feature <\/b> Live-action short <\/b> Makeup and hairstyling<\/b> Original score<\/b> Original song<\/b> Production design<\/b> Sound<\/b> Visual Effects<\/b> Casting<\/b>
