The 2026 Academy Awards ceremony, hosted by Conan O'Brien, delivered a safe and competent broadcast sustained by competitive races in major categories, with "One Battle After Another" emerging as the night's dominant film and Michael B. Jordan winning best actor. The show featured sharp opening jokes, notable song performances, and touching tributes to deceased industry figures, though critics noted the evening lacked the excitement and cultural significance of past ceremonies.
