How Much Does Conan O’Brien Earn as Oscars Host? Unveiling the Astonishing Paycheck
In the world of Hollywood, no event shines brighter than the Oscars.
As the curtain falls on this year’s 2026 Academy Awards, a select few celebrities will finally experience the thrill of winning the most esteemed accolade in the acting industry.
Scheduled for Sunday, March 15, at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, this annual extravaganza celebrates cinematic excellence by bringing together some of the most renowned stars for a night dedicated to honoring the top achievements in filmmaking over the past year, both in front of and behind the camera.
This year’s nominees include critically acclaimed films such as Hamnet, One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, Frankenstein, and Sinners, all of which have made a significant mark across various categories. Notable actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Paul Mescal, Jessie Buckley, and Wunmi Mosaku have been individually recognized for their outstanding, career-defining performances. (Check out every star’s red carpet appearance here.)
One of the closest races of the night is definitely Best Actor in a Leading Role. While Timothée Chalamet was a clear frontrunner at the start of the season after winning top honors for his role in Marty Supreme at both the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, Sinners‘ Michael B. Jordan proved he’s very much still a contender after his surprising—yet well-deserved—win over Chalamet at The Actor Awards earlier this month.
