Oscars 2026 live updates: See every major moment

The biggest night in Hollywood is here, and we're following it all live.

The 2026 Oscars have officially arrived, bringing the film industry's awards season marathon to its glittering finale. After months of campaigns, red carpets, heated debates, and a seemingly endless stream of precursor awards, the winners of the 97th Academy Awards will finally be revealed tonight.

As always, the Oscars promise a little bit of everything: emotional speeches, surprise wins, viral moments, and at least one bit that will immediately become a meme. The ceremony is Hollywood's most visible celebration of filmmaking, but it's also become something of a real-time internet event, where reactions unfold just as quickly on social media as they do inside the Dolby Theatre.

Throughout the night, we'll be tracking the biggest developments as they happen. That means updates on the major category winners, standout acceptance speeches, and the kinds of unpredictable moments that tend to dominate timelines before the show is even over. And at this year's Oscars, there's plenty to watch.

One of the biggest storylines heading into the ceremony is Sinners, which leads this year’s nominations — a sign of just how strongly the film resonated with Academy voters across multiple branches. Ryan Coogler's film will face off against Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another in the race for Best Picture, setting up one of the night's most closely watched showdowns.

Meanwhile, the Best Actor race is widely considered one of the ceremony's biggest question marks, with no clear frontrunner. The category features a stacked lineup of nominees, including Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme), Michael B. Jordan (Sinners), Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent).

We'll also be watching the internet’s reaction in real time. Because if there’s one thing Oscars night consistently delivers, it’s discourse: debates about snubs and surprises, instant reactions to acceptance speeches, and the occasional onstage moment that completely takes over the cultural conversation.

Think of this page as your running guide to the night. The show may only last a few hours. The reactions tend to last much longer.

Stay with us as the night unfolds.

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

A speeding black hole is birthing baby stars across light years

Astronomers think they have discovered a supermassive black hole traveling away from its home galaxy at 4 million mph — so fast it's not doing what it's notorious for: sucking light out of the universe. Quite the opposite, possibly. Rather than ripping stars to shreds and swallowing up every morsel, this black hole is believed to be fostering new star formation, leaving a trail of newborn stars stretching 200,000 light-years through space . Pieter van Dokkum, an astronomy professor at Yale University, said as the black hole rams into gas, it seems to trigger a narrow corridor of new stars, where the gas has a chance to cool. How exactly it works, though, isn't known, said van Dokkum, who led research on the phenomenon captured by NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope accidentally. A paper on the findings was published last week in The Astrophysical Journal Letters . “What we’re seeing is the aftermath," he said in a statement . "Like the wake behind a ship, we’r...
