Warner Bros. Ties Own Oscar Studio Record With 30 Nominations for ‘Sinners’ and ‘One Battle After Another’

Warner Bros. scored a leading 30 Oscar nominations on Thursday morning, collecting a record 16 nods for Ryan Coogler’s vampire thriller “Sinners,” as well as 13 for Paul Thomas Anderson’s comedic adventure “One Battle After Another” and one for Amy Madigan’s supporting turn in “Weapons.”

Warner Bros. tied its own record, established in 2005 when the studio racked up 30 nominations for films including Clint Eastwood and Hilary Swank’s sports drama “Million Dollar Baby,” Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio’s “The Aviator,” and “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.” It’s worth noting the 2005 benchmark comes with a caveat; “The Aviator” was co-produced by Miramax, and the studio was operating a separate arthouse label, Warner Bros. Independent, which released Oscar nominees such as “Before Sunset” and “A Very Long Engagement.” That makes this year’s haul even more impressive because the Warner Bros. main production arms oversaw and released all of the contenders. “F1: The Movie” is not included in the studio’s 2026 tally despite earning four nominations. That’s because Warner Bros. was paid to distribute the Brad Pitt-led racing thriller, but the film was produced and financed by Apple. Prior to that, Warner Bros. amassed a then-record 28 nominations for films from 1943, including “Casablanca.”

Neon followed on the scorecard with 18 nods for movies such as Joachim Trier’s family drama “Sentimental Value” and the Brazilian crime thriller “The Secret Agent.” This is, by far, Neon’s best showing on Oscar nominations morning, topping the indie studio’s high water-mark of eight in 2020 when “Parasite” ended up winning best picture.

Netflix, which was the most-nominated studio in 2024 and 2025, ranked in third place with 16 nominations. The streamer was recognized for Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein,” the Joel Edgerton-led drama “Train Dreams” and the animated sensation “KPop Demon Hunters.” Netflix also collected two nominations for the shorts “The Singers” and “All the Empty Rooms,” but the Academy’s official scorecard only counts feature-length films.

Here’s the full list of Academy Award nominations. Conan O’Brien will host the 98th annual ceremony, which will air on March 15 from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
