And the 2026 Oscar nominees are…. Nominations for the 98th Academy Awards were announced live Thursday morning from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Science’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles by actors Lewis Pullman and Danielle Brooks. While horror films have traditionally been left out of the Oscars, Ryan Coogler’s vampire tale “Sinners” made history with 16 nominations, including Directing, Best Picture and Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan, his first Oscar nomination. No movie has ever landed more than 14 nominations — something achieved only by “All About Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land.” Paul Thomas Anderson’s father-daughter revolutionary saga “One Battle After Another,” trailed in second with 13 nominations. This year, the Academy is recognizing casting directors for the first time, adding the new category last year. The last time a competitive category was added was in 2001, with best animated film. The Oscars will take place on March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and will be televised live on ABC and Hulu at 7 p.m. ET on ABC. Conan O’Brien is returning as host.

A man is dead after he was hit by a vehicle on Interstate 93 in Salem, New Hampshire, a collision that closed the highway for several hours late Wednesday night. State police say a passerby stopped a trooper around 11:15 p.m. to report that a pedestrian had been struck on I-93 southbound in the area of the Exit 2 on-ramp. Troopers responded to the scene, and found the victim, who was pronounced dead on scene. His name is being withheld pending family notification. It’s unclear why he was outside a car on the busy highway. The driver of the vehicle that was involved in the collision remained on scene and is cooperating with investigators, police said. There’s no word on if any charges will be filed. Multiple lanes of I-93 southbound were closed for more than three hours to accommodate the on-scene investigation. Additional details about this deadly crash haven’t been released at this time. Anyone with information that could help investigators is asked to contact Trooper Madelynn Theve at Madelynn.M.Theve@dos.nh.gov.
