The 2026 Oscars, hosted by Conan O'Brien, had numerous highlights including emotional tributes, surprise appearances, and a tie at the highest level of Oscar voting. Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" won six Oscars out of 13 nominations. The Oscars In Memoriam segment honored Hollywood icons, including Rob Reiner, Robert Redford, Diane Keaton and more. The Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film was the first time an Oscar vote ended in a tie in over a decade. The creators of "The Singers" and "Two People Exchanging Saliva" also took turns accepting their awards. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has over 10,000 voting members and rules that if there is an exact match in voting totals, the win qualifies as a tie.
