Which films are nominated?Getty ImagesSentimental Value stars (left to right) Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Elle Fanning, Renate Reinsve and Stellan SkarsgårdOne Battle After Another, about a former revolutionary whose daughter is kidnapped, leads the pack this year after becoming one of the most critically acclaimed movies of 2025. Its competition includes Sentimental Value, a Norwegian drama about two sisters who reconnect with their estranged father, a film director planning his comeback, after the death of their mother. Sinners, a vampire horror-drama set in 1930s Mississippi, was one of the first Oscar contenders out of the gate, launching to box office success shortly after last year's Academy Awards. Elsewhere, the screen adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's novel Hamnet explores the family tragedy that many believe led William Shakespeare to write one of his most famous plays. A new adaptation of Frankenstein provides a more emotional take on Mary Shelley's novel about a mad scientist and the creature he creates, while blockbuster Wicked: For Good concludes the origin story of Elphaba, the wicked witch of the west. Kidnap drama It Was Just An Accident, one of the best films of this year's awards season and the winner of the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, follows a man who seeks revenge on the former officer who previously tortured him in prison. And Marty Supreme follows a table tennis player in 1950s New York as he tries to stay financially afloat while making his name as an athlete. Other nominated films include conspiracy theory drama Bugonia, Korean black comedy No Other Choice, Brazilian political thriller The Secret Agent and animated musical smash Kpop Demon Hunters.
