Singer Raye embodies classic Hollywood glamour in a striking off-the-shoulder red gown while arriving at the 2026 Oscars.
The 28-year-old Escapism artist stuns in the elegant dress, accentuated by a structured bone corset. She elevates the look with a dazzling diamond necklace featuring a prominent ruby centerpiece.
On the red carpet, Raye engages playfully with cameras, striking poses and forming a heart shape with her hands.
2026 Academy Awards Highlights
The 98th Academy Awards celebrate top 2025 films at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Conan O’Brien hosts the event for the second consecutive year, following Jimmy Kimmel.
The ceremony airs live on ABC and streams on Hulu, starting at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, with availability on Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, AT&T TV, and FuboTV.
Record-Breaking Nominations
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners dominates with 16 nominations, setting an Oscars record. This supernatural horror, set in 1930s Mississippi, follows twin brothers confronting evil in their hometown. Michael B. Jordan stars in dual roles and vies for Best Actor.
Sinners competes for Best Picture against Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, and Train Dreams.
Best Actor Race
Michael B. Jordan (Sinners) faces fierce competition from Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme), Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent).
Chalamet leads early awards like the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice, but Jordan gains traction with a recent Actor Awards win. Tension rises after Chalamet’s remarks dismissing interest in ballet and opera, drawing arts community criticism.
Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie, portrays Chalamet as a 1950s ping-pong prodigy whose drive strains relationships.
Best Actress Contenders
Jessie Buckley emerges as frontrunner for Hamnet, directed by Chloé Zhao. She competes with Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I Would Kick You), Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue), Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value), and Emma Stone (Bugonia).
Hamnet reimagines Shakespeare’s family life and his son’s death as inspiration for Hamlet.
Other Major Categories
Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another secures 13 nominations, including Best Director, Best Actor for DiCaprio, and Supporting nods for Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn, plus Supporting Actress for Teyana Taylor. The thriller tracks a former revolutionary rescuing his daughter from a corrupt foe.
Marty Supreme earns nine nods, including Best Picture. Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein and Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value also receive nine each. Frankenstein explores a creature’s search for love, while Sentimental Value depicts sisters reconciling with their father.
Supporting Categories
Best Supporting Actor nominees: Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn (One Battle After Another), Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein), Delroy Lindo (Sinners), Stellan Skarsgård (Sentimental Value).

Gwyneth Paltrow snubbed for Marty Supreme.
