The 98th Academy Awards are due to take place on March 15, 2026, and are scheduled to occur at Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.
Who Has Won The Most Academy Awards?
The history of the Academy Awards is incredibly interesting.
Oddly, the top five winners of the most Oscars are not Meryl Streep or Jack Nicholson. The top five Oscar winners since the ceremony began in 1929 are:
- Walt Disney- 26 Oscars
- Cedric Gibbons- 11 Oscars
- Alfred Newman- nine Oscars
- Dennis Muren- nine Oscars
- Edith Head- eight Oscars
Who is Hosting?
It was announced in March 2025 that the host of the Oscars 2026 will be Conan O’Brien, who has hosted the event once before. This is not surprising as, in 2025, when he hosted the awards ceremony, it attracted 19 million views.
Where Can I Watch The Oscars 2026?
The 98th Academy Awards will stream live on ABC for those who are watching in the US. If you are a fan of the Oscars and want to watch them in the UK, you can usually do so on ITV or ITVX. Often, the official website streams the events live to YouTube, so fans of the event globally can usually tune in. Also, as the 2025 Academy Awards were streamed live to Hulu, there is a high chance that this will occur again for next year’s ceremony.
Want to watch the contest in person? This may be tricky as, simply put, the Oscars are in extremely high demand, and if they do have space in the hosting arena for members of the public, they are usually in obstructed spots. Also, the tickets can cost over $1000 per person, meaning that’s a lot of money to spend to watch an event you could see better from your own home!
