The 2026 Oscars will air on March 14, a move from the traditional end of awards season to the later date. The timing of the Oscars has also been affected by the 2026 Golden Globes, the 2024 Actor Awards, and the 2025 Winter Olympics. The changes were made to increase ratings and reduce redundancy of awards seasons. The Oscars were also pushed back to March 27 due to the 2022 Winter Games and the Super Bowl. Despite these changes, this is a return to form for the ceremony, as most of its 98 shows have traditionally occurred in March and April. Some nominees include Oscar winners such as Julia Roberts, Stellan, Inga and Elle.
