The 2026 Oscars were an eventful mix of emotional tributes, historic award ties and some unexpected winners.
Conan O’Brien hosted the event for a second time in LA on Sunday March 15, and while his opening monologue wasn’t quite as fizzy as the year prior, there were still plenty of zingers between YouTube advert interruptions and digs at Timothée Chalamet’s ballet comments.
If you haven’t kept up with this year’s nominations, the event provides a good recap (albeit filled with spoilers) to some of the essential films over the past 12 months. However, some notable flicks went home empty-handed, like Marty Supreme and The Secret Agent.
For a rundown of where to watch all the winners in the UK though, we’ve listed them below, from Best Picture juggernauts, documentaries and short films.
