The year 2025 was full of great films, and this is reflected in the nominations for the César 2026 and Oscars 2026 award ceremonies. The nominated feature films are diverse and of high quality, which naturally has cinephiles eager to find out which films will take home the honors. The winners will be announced on Thursday, February 26 (for the César), and during the night from Sunday, March 15 to Monday, March 16, French time (for the Oscars).
In the meantime, you can follow the announcement of the two long-awaited awards with us, and discover the nominations for both ceremonies, as well as the reviews we've been writing about the films all year long.
Note that if a film is nominated in more than one category, it will not be repeated, which is why some categories are not represented, and why some have only one film. To discover the full list of nominations, please refer to the two articles below.
