The 98th Academy Awards are officially on the calendar for March 15, 2026. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences confirmed the ceremony will return to its iconic home at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. In a move that brings a familiar wit back to the stage, Conan O'Brien will host the ceremony for the second consecutive year.

The Academy has already secured a heavy-hitting roster of presenters to join O'Brien. Fans can expect to see Robert Downey Jr., Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Anne Hathaway handing out the golden statues. Other confirmed presenters include Will Arnett, Paul Mescal, and Gwyneth Paltrow. These stars will honor the top cinematic achievements from films released throughout the 2025 calendar year.

Viewers can catch the full broadcast live on ABC. For those ditching traditional cable, the event will also be available for streaming on Hulu. With O'Brien leading the charge and a star-studded list of presenters, the 98th Oscars is shaping up to be a major night for the film industry.
