The 2026 Academy Award nominations were announced today, which included some predictable nods, a few snubs, and one record-breaking film. 

The Ryan Coogler-directed film “Sinners” earned a whopping 16 nominations, breaking the record previously set by “Titanic” (1997), “La La Land” (2016), and “All About Eve” (1950), which each had 14 nominations.

“Sinners” is a horror film set in Mississippi in 1932 that also addresses the racism from that era. It follows Michael B. Jordan playing twin brothers who return to their hometown in the Jim Crow South, only to be confronted by a supernatural evil.

The ultra woke Hollywood darling “One Battle After Another” scored the second most nominations with 13 total.  “Frankenstein,” “Marty Supreme,” and “Sentimental Value” each got nine.  

As for snubs, “Wicked: For Good” was totally shut out this year after the first film earned 10 Oscar nominations and won two awards at the 2025 Academy Awards. Actor Paul Mescal was favored to be nominated for his role in “Hamnet,” but ultimately didn’t make the cut. 

The Academy Awards will once again be hosted by Conan O’Brien. They are scheduled air live on ABC and Hulu on Sunday, March 15, starting at 7 p.m. ET.

Taylor Swift is best known for headlining stadium tours, not appearing in court filings. But new legal documents in the lawsuit between “It Ends With Us” co-stars Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively place the pop star squarely in the drama, alleging she referred to Baldoni, who also directed the film, as a “b*tch” in a December 2024 text message to Lively.

Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation in a suit filed against him and his production company, Wayfarer Studios.

Text messages included in court docs filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court of New York in Manhattan show how the two friends at the time viewed Lively’s “It Ends With Us” co-star amid the actors’ feud over the 2024 film.

“I think this b*tch knows something is coming because he’s gotten out his tiny violin,” Swift texted Lively, language her legal team later acknowledged while disputing the timing of the exchange.

In another exchange revealed Tuesday, Lively referred to Baldoni, who denies all accusations against him, as her “doofus director” and a “clown” to Swift.

The unsealed texts also appear to contradict statements from Swift’s representative, per TMZ, who said last year the singer had no involvement with the film’s script and that a meeting with Lively and Baldoni was a setup.

According to TMZ, Lively said in her deposition that she sent Swift the script on her way to Lively’s apartment while Baldoni was still there and asked her to read it, stressing there was no pressure to do so.

The court filings also show Baldoni confided in others about his behind-the-scenes drama with Lively.

“If [Lively] doesn’t promote the movie she can leak that I’m a bad person or that she felt unsafe with me,” Baldoni said.

Lively’s sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit is set to go to trial in May. Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit was dismissed by the court in late 2025, and a hearing on a motion to dismiss Lively’s claims is set for January 23.
